Rules: Normal sudoku rules apply.
Partially hidden equal split lines: Each line in the puzzle is an equal split line: it is divided into at least two segments of equal sums by split points. Split points are always located between two neighboring cells. Some split points are given as dots, while others are hidden and must be determined by the solver.
Dots: A white dot indicates that the two digits it separates differ by the number on the dot. A black dot indicates that the two digits it separates are in the ratio shown on the dot. A gray dot indicates that the two digits it separates sum to the number on the dot. A question mark may represent any positive integer.
Consistent split points: Along each line, all split points are dots of the same type, with the same number. For example, every split point on the line in column 2 separates two cells differing by 1.
