Standard sudoku rules apply.
Paint the grid with three colors. Digits 1-4 are land (green), digits 5-8 are water (blue), and digit 9 are bridges (grey). No 2x2 area can be fully land or water. All land areas must be orthogonally connected by bridges. All water areas must be orthogonally connected by bridges.
Digits joined by X sum to 10. Digits joined by V sum to 5. Not all X and V are given.
The grey circles contains odd digits.
Solution code: Row 2 followed by column 5, no spaces

Are all Xs and Vs given, or not?

Very fun! Definitely had a trouble starting (kept assuming a bridge had to be someplace it didn’t) but otherwise pretty straightforward.
