- This puzzle is a 6x6 grid of cells, which are arranged in six rows and six columns of six cells each. Cells are divided into "cell pieces" by grey lines.
- Write a digit from 1–6 in each cell piece.
- Digits may not repeat in a cell.
- In each row, column, and box, the total area of the cell pieces containing the digit 1 must equal the area of a single cell. The same is true for the digits 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6.
Kropki:
- Digits separated by a white dot are consecutive.
- Digits separated by a black dot are in a 2:1 ratio.

Note: the puzzle is not an introduction to the genre. Juggler and Mitchell Lee made a wonderful set of puzzles for that purpose: Introduction to Fractional Sudoku. Recommend solving them first if you're new to the genre.

I really enjoyed this puzzle. I got it correct according to the online link but can't get the solution code right. Not that it matters, but for curiosity: By reading order of the digits of the bottom row (I'm not a native english speaker) is it the question of top to bottom if there are two equally sized fractional cells, or lowest to highest value within the main cell? Anyway, thanks for this great puzzle!
