@Perladel My theorem only works with the standard ring. You don't get the same effect if you use different rows/columns. It's very specific geometry that forces what I discovered to occur.

Was this puzzle a tribute to me?
--Kinda haha. I meant to create a puzzle which mimics the "Potatohead's theorem" with the expanded version of the Phistomefel's Ring. You can still use it, but I've added so many constraints that it's not necessary. Anyway it was one of my first puzzles, so I just uploaded it to test if I was able to post Sudokus on this site

The initial open was deceptively easy, mid game got a lot tougher, and the ending was either tough or I was extremely dumb. Either way I really enjoyed this.
