Renban Walls Series
Rules:
Normal sudoku rules apply. Normal renban and german whisper lines. Normal killer cages. The cages have the same sum.
Digits touching a purple renban wall form a non-repeating set of consecutive digits. A wall touches all cells which overlap any of its corner or edge segments. A wall also divides its set of digits into regions. Digits in a region are consecutive and can appear in any order.
Informal Rules:
Renban walls are three renban in one. One side of the wall: renban. The other side of the wall: also renban. The whole thing: you better believe it's renban!
