can somebody explain how those purple lines make sense in this solution, the numbers contained on the purple lines do not appear to be consecutive
Reply: They are a SET of consecutive non repeating numbers, but they can be in any order. So 4,2,3,5 is a valid 4 cell Renban. Sorry if I was not explicit enough, this is a well known Sudoku variant.

Really lovely! I particularly liked a certain interaction with the 7-cell renban. It wasn't too hard, but it kept its difficulty until the end. Thank you :)
