Normalish sudoku rules apply: Every row column and box contains the digits 0-9 once each. To accomodate this, one cell in each row, column, and box is a Schrödinger cell: it contains two digits.
Normal renban rules apply. The cells of a renban contain a nonrepeating set of digits which form a consecutive sequence, in any order. If one or more Schrödinger cells are used, both digits must be part of that sequence.
Normal X rules apply. The sum of ALL the digits in cells separated by an X sum to 10. Not all X's are necessarily given. This allows for some non-standard X's. See the example below.
Have fun, leave a comment if you enjoy the puzzle!
(Note that the CTC app allows you to enter 0 just as any other digit, so no special considerations are needed for this unusual rule set.)
Lösungscode: The digits in the Schrödinger cells from the first row to the last, with the lower of the two digits in each row entered first.

What a ride. Never done an S-cell puzzle before, but based on this beauty looking forward to dipping my toe in again.

Brilliant ! Very nice use of the S-cells !

I had originally figured this would be 5/5 all the way but once i got over the initial hurdle, it actually fell into place rather smoothly.

Tough but fair. (And also brilliant. So basically it's the Professor McGonagall of puzzles.)

I had the same feeling “virtual” had about some X implication, I bet it was the same one. This was hard but really felt like a bread crumb path you could follow logically, beautiful!

This reminded me of your legendary nabneR puzzle right away: both toying with some mind-boggling renban geometry, and both forcing me to stare at them for hours with no clue on where to begin.

Incredibly elegant construction! I love this ruleset. It felt brutally hard at times because I kept quadruple checking my logic. But every step was well-telegraphed. I'm so satisfied (and relieved) that I managed to solve it.

Absolutely lovely! The break-in felt well telegraphed and prepared me for the later parts of the solve path. The slightly twisted logic evoked my favorite kind of brain expanding feeling!
I kept thinking "Oh, it would be really cool if X implication of the rules happened." just before finding that exact thing in the grid. Beautiful puzzle!

Great puzzle!

nice one in the schrödinger series.

Masterful setting! Great fun to solve. Thanks zetamath! :)

This puzzle breaks your standard way of thinking. I really liked that it challenged me to rethink every otherwise trivial step. Well done!

I must say, this really brought some troubles for me at the start but actually, it's a really gorgeous start and the flow after that felt quite smooth with some consistent logics that require good observations. Already one of my favorite puzzles of this year ;)

What an incredible puzzle. Going on my favorites list!

Awesome puzzle! I loved how the logic with the Schrödinger cells paired with the Renban and X clues to yield some very counterintuitive patterns. Thanks for your craft!

Very nice! A lot of fun to solve :)

Awesome puzzle! Glad to see my original concept being picked up and taken to new heights
