This was my attempt to defend my title for the Impostor Challenge - alas, I was beaten!

- Normal Sudoku rules apply.
- Indexing - On a purple index line, the digit in the Nth cell along the line (starting from the diamond) indicates the position along the line where the digit N appears. Eg: 3214 would be a valid line; the 1st digit, 3, indicates that the 3rd digit is a 1, and so on.
- Palindromes - digits on a hollow gray palindrome line must read the same backwards and forwards.
- Ratio Kropki - digits separated by a black Kropki dot have a ratio of 2:1. No negative constraint.
- XV sums - digits separated by X sum to 10; digits separated by V sum to 5. No negative constraint.
