(Published on 31. August 2026, 14:20 by starchacer)
Although this graph seems reflective of some global activity, I hope it isn't of reflective of your accounts.
- Normal Sudoku Rules: Fill each row, column, and 3x3 box with the digits 1-9 once each.
- Negative Diagonal: Digits along the negative diagonal (R1C1 to R9C9) must be unique.
- German Whispers: Along green lines, digits must differ from their neighbors by at least 5.
- Renban: Purple lines contain a non-repeating set of consecutive digits in any order.
- Killer Cages: Digits in cages must not repeat and must sum to the number in the upper left corner of the cage (if present).
- X/V: Cells separated by X must sum to 10. Cells separated by V must sum to 5.

Nice puzzle. Is the odd circle rule missing? Without using it the puzzle has three possible solutions.

(starchacer): With so many rules, it's not surprising that I missed one, but missing one that removes uniqueness is clearly less than ideal! Thanks for letting me know, I've updated the rules!
