This puzzle is a follow-up to Lupercalia and originally appeared in the Parity Party Puzzle Pack.
Normal sudoku rules apply.
Hidden XV Pairs: Pairs of cells adjacent cells summing to 10 may be considered to have a hidden X. Pairs summing to 5 have a hidden V.
Parity Party: Clues outside the grid give the sum of digits in that row or column starting from the position of the clue up to and including either the first even or the first odd digit encountered. Each parity party clue contains exactly one hidden X or V. (There are no other restrictions on hidden XVs.)

Now I get the chance to revisit these kinds of puzzle, I'd like to say this is such a criminally underrated puzzle, I hope more people should give this one a go as well :)
Quite a pleasing start then it got noticeably harder in the middle, where those 19 clues and ? clues played such vital roles in there, and all-in-all a really neat use of the hidden XV constraint!
