Normal sudoku rules apply: place the digits 1-9 in every row, every column, and every 3x3 box.
Dolly lines: each Dolly Line has a 9 on one end and a 5 on the other. Reading along a line from the 9 toward the 5, the digits may stay the same or go down, but they may never go up. You must figure out which end is the 9 and which end is the 5.
Digits connected by an IX sum to 9.
Digits connected by a V sum to 5.
Not every V and IX marker is given.
Solution code: Enter the digits in row 5 from left to right.

So ganz eindeutig sind die Regeln nicht. Ich habe mir zwar nach einiger Zeit gedacht, dass die Zahlen auf den Linien zwischen 5 und 9 liegen müssen, da mir sonst kein Lösungsweg einfiel; die Regeln ließen es aber auch zu, dass sie kleiner als 5 sein können, solange sie nur von der 9 aus abnehmen (oder gleich bleiben).
