Normal Sudoku rules apply. Circled numbers must appear in one of the surrounding 4 cells. Circles without a number separate consecutive digits.
Solution code: Row 1, Row 9

Your puzzles do a great job highlighting a specific large concept and making the most use of it in a way that is as clear and flowing as water!

This puzzle is ridiculously clever. Some really neat logic emerging from this beautiful looking grid. Thanks Gliperal!

Is it the X from "drink this and it’ll cause pain to your brain" or the "here lies a treasure" ? Cause it could be either.
The concept is cool but I appreciate even more the masterful work of making it solvable through such a nice flow after the break-in.

Brilliant puzzle. Very hard, but extraordinarily satisfying to solve.

Simply, simply lovely.

Lovely and smooth solve, thanks! I only found it easy because I've used the same break-in in two of my previous puzzles. :-)

One of my favorite - if not, my favorite - puzzle ever! The puzzle is the best mix of approachable and mind-bending. And, instead of most 5 star puzzles that challenge you until the very end, this puzzle awards you with digits and the lifting of difficulty as it goes on. Yet, through all of this, it never ceases to be beautiful. What a masterpiece! :D

This is probably the most genius thing ive ever seen. The solve was extreamly hard. But the calm after the storm made this so pleasant. You are truly a mastermind. Took me around 3 hours of joy. Thank you for this puzzle.

...show me on the screen where the sudoku hurt you...
This is a fantastic puzzle. Took me over 2 hours, with a bunch of mistakes and wrong conclusions that I had to unwind. There are things in this puzzle that I've never seen before, and that's a rarity - especially with such a clean grid. Thank you for setting it!

I literally stared at this puzzle for an hour at a time both on Sunday and yesterday. I understood nothing, and leaned more and more towards the whole puzzle just being some sort of a prank/conspiracy. :-P Finally, today I thought of the correct idea while walking around town, and eventually I managed to sit down and figure everything out. Persistence is what's needed sometimes!
Incredible puzzle! Thank you! :-D

The final boss from lord "Farquad", I sweated so much just to find the next step after that beautiful break-in.
Overall 110+ mins solve seemed not too bad, thank you for this incredible puzzle :)

Finally did it... Amazing construction. I still can't believe it resolves to a unique solution. A masterpiece.

Brilliant. Both construction and the solve! Thanks!
