Held Together, Kept Apart

- Normal Sudoku rules apply.
- Some lines are German whispers; any two contiguous digits on these lines must differ by 5 or more.
- The remaining lines are renbans; the digits on these lines must, in some order, form a string of consecutive numbers without repeats.
- Inequalities point to the smaller of the two digits they separate.
Solution code: Row 3
