Threads of Silence
Rules:
Normal sudoku rules apply.
Every run of five digits on the yellow line contains a digit from {1,6}, a digit from {2,7}, a digit from {3,8}, a digit from {4,9}, and the digit 5.
The grey line consists of one or more contiguous groups of cells, each of which sums to 10. These groups of cells cannot overlap.
Digits an equal distance from the center of the purple line must sum to the digit in the center of that purple line.
Adjacent digits along the green line must differ by at least 5.
Digits on the pink line form a set of consecutive integers in some order.
Solution code: Row 2.

Astonishing construction and great puzzle. Didn't catch this till I saw that it was on CTC - glad I found it in the end.

really nice. took me ages but I got there in the end. The break-in is utterly devious but very Dorlir. The interactions around the grid thereafter were very satisfying once you eventually spot them.

Somehow you've made a ruleset with 5 different line types covering 47 cells in the grid feel minimalist! Really nice setting and clever interactions throughout :)

Brilliant. Probably very hard without some theory. Loved it. Thanks!

Impressive how it all resolves so well at the end.
