Rules
- Normal Sudoku rules apply.
- Digits on a least squares line sum to the square of the smallest digit on that line. Lines do not branch, cross themselves or share cells with each other.
- The grid is partially covered in fog. Placing a correct digit may clear fog somewhere in the grid. No guessing is required.
