Renban Madness
(Published yesterday, 07:50 by Geoprow)
Rules
- Normal Sudoku Rules apply
- German Whispers: Adjacent digits along a green line must differ by at least 5.
- Renban Lines: Digits along a pink line form a set of non-repeating, consecutive digits in any order.
- Quadruple Circles: Digits inside a white circle must appear in the four surrounding cells.
- Kropki Dots: Cells separated by a black dot must contain digits in a 1:2 ratio. (Not all are given).
- Killer Cages: Digits in a cage must not repeat and sum to a specific value.
Special Constraints
- Unique Renbans: Each Renban line contains a unique set of digits (no two Renban lines contain the exact same combination of digits).
- Equal Cages: All killer cages have the same sum, which must be determined by the solver.
Author Notes:
This is the first puzzle I've tried to upload. I believe it is quite difficult but I honestly am lost to how far up the difficulty scale it is. It took me a long time to set, so I hope you enjoy it. Feedback is appreciated and welcome.
Solution code: The solution code is row 9, left to right.

Very nice but very hard indeed.
Presumably the 2 empty quads in boxes 1 and 7 are just for appearances.

Id like to see that 2* solve :-). To me 4*. Even knowing phisto made the renban restriction barely catchable. Maybe missed sth? Wonderful setting thx.
