Normal sudoku rules apply. Digits on a purple renban line must be consecutive, but can be in any order. Digits may not repeat on a renban line. Digits in a cage must sum to the little number in the upper left, and may not repeat in the cage. I think this puzzle is 1.5 stars out of 5 for difficulty for many solvers. As always, comments are welcome!
