A. Show the distinct number of regions in that row/column
OR
B. Show the number of skyscrapers in that row/column starting with N seen from the outside of the grid.
The grey line is a region sum line. On the line, digits on the line have an equal sum N within each region the line passes through. If a line enters a region more than once the total is counted as one sum. The line must visit every region. Digits separated by a V sum to 5, and those digits must be in different regions. Digits separated by a X sum to 10 and must be in the same region. Digits separated by a white dot are consecutive and must be in the same region. Digits separated by a black dot have a ratio of 2:1 and must be in different regions. Not all XVs and dots have been given.
This is my first attempt at a chaos puzzle, so any feedback or comments would be appreciated. I feel the difficulty is between 3.5 and 4 stars. [Thanks to some users for feedback, the puzzle had an error which was addressed.]

Still not clear to me: May N have both properties?
