Picasso 2
I recently released Picasso and I really liked some of the logic and wanted to explore it further. Here is that exploration.
Normal Sudoku rules apply.
159: Digits in the shaded cells in columns 1, 5, and 9 indicate the column in which 1, 5, or 9 (respectively) appears in that row.
Killer: Digits in a cage cannot repeat and must sum to the given total.
Renban: Digits on a purple (REN) line form a non-repeating set of consecutive digits in any order.
Solution code: Column 5

Yes, I'd agree, this is tough and fun. At least once in a 159 puzzle I will reach a point where it seems impossible to make progress, but then something weird will reveal itself.
