This ruleset is from Zombie Hunter, who has made many puzzles with this rule. I highly recommend you try some of them! This is one of my attempts at it. Enjoy!
Rules: Normal sudoku rules apply. Digits cannot repeat within a cage.
XV ? VX rules: The Xs and Vs in the grid are ambiguous.
A V-clue could mean either the digits sum to 5, or it's an inequality symbol (or both). If it's an inequality symbol, it points to the smaller of the two digits connected.
An X-clue could mean either the digits sum to 10 or it's a multiplication symbol (or both). If it's a multiplication symbol, the product of the two digits on the X immediately follows to the right (if the X is in a row) or downward (if the X is in a column). For example, 7x6=42 could show up as 7 and 6 on the X and the digits 4 and 2 immediately next to it. Leading zeros are not allowed. The multiplication does not wrap around the grid.
Not all Xs and Vs are necessarily given.
