- Normal sudoku rules apply.
- Region Sum Lines - Digits on a line must have an equal sum within each region is passes through.
- Kropki - Numbers that appear in the cells with a white dot between must be consecutive.
- Numbers that appear in the cells with a black dot between must have a ratio of 2:1.
- Row/Column Indexing - If the digit X in column Y is in a red highlighted cell, then the digit Y must appear in column X in that row (e.g. if r4c3 is a 6, r4c6 is a 3).
- If the digit X in row Y is in a blue highlighted cell, then the digit Y must appear in row X in that column (e.g. if r3c5 is a 6, r6c5 is a 3).

Beautiful as always! It took me some time to feel comfortable with the vertical indexing. Too many 159 puzzles or I'm just getting old... Thanks:)

Appreciate your solve and comments as always. I got used to the column/row indexing when I was test solving a puzzle for Sktx way back when, it's called "159²" and I highly recommend giving it a go, it's pretty extraordinary. I then used symmetry and broke the 159 to different rows/columns and came up with this layout. Really glad you enjoyed the interactions..
