Normal sudoku rules apply.
Pivot Loop: Form a one-cell-wide loop that moves through the grid orthogonally. The loop does not touch itself, not even diagonally. A loop cell is an odd digit if the loop moves straight through it, and is an even digit if the loop does a 90 degree turn at its location.
Loop German Whispers: Any two cells connected by a green line contain one loop cell and one non-loop cell, and their digits differ by at least 5.
Loop Dots: Cells separated by a black dot are either both loop cells, or neither are loop cells. Digits separated by a black dot have a 1:2 ratio.
Example of a valid loop shape (the white cells inside the loop cannot be cut off from each other, and a 2x2 block of cells cannot all be loop cells):
(Puzzles throughout this series use the same loop rules, and visually identical elements have the same meaning).
