Building Towers to the Sun
(Published on 10. September 2020, 05:30 by Strosahl)
Standard Kropki and XV rules apply.
- XV: Cells separated by an X or a V sum to 10 or 5 (respectively)
- Kropki: Cells separated by a black dot have a ratio of 2; Cells separated by a white dot are consecutive
- All possible Xs, Vs, and dots are given.
And for clarity, there are no 3x3 boxes (just columns and rows), and colored cells are purely for aesthetics. The grid is still a Latin square (digits cannot repeat in rows/cols).

Very amazing. At first glance, impossible, but then it goes step by step.
@Karen: only orthogonal

Are the rules XV and kropki rules only for orthogonaly connected cells? Or diagonal as well?
