Between the Devil and the Deep Blue Sea
(Published on 27. February 2023, 11:00 by ViKingPrime)
PUZZLE:
RULES:
Normal Sudoku rules apply.
• Between Lines: Digits along a line must be between the values found in that line's circles. Digits may repeat if allowed by other rules.
• Little Killer: Numbers outside the grid indicate the sum of the digit values along the indicated diagonal. Digits may repeat if allowed by other rules.
MODIFIERS:
• Möbius+: Each instance of the digit 1 may be considered as having the value of either 1 and/or 10.
INTRODUCTION:
The highlighting is just for the art and is removed from the puzzle links (I think it's fun to illustrate the inspiration for the titles).
This was a tricky one to set but it came together quite beautifully. Keep in mind that the digit 1 can have different values across multiple clues and it should be relatively smooth sailing from there. Please also note that a Between-Line does not turn at an intersection but rather each line runs straight through that cell.
An example puzzle will follow to better illustrate the rules.
Have fun!

Getting used to the mobius cells and the fact that they can be *both* 1 and 10 tripped me up in the beginning, but after that, it was a relatively smooth solve. Good puzzle.
