This was changed a few times and tested thoroughly, and the final version has some pretty interesting logic within.
Please do give it a try and hope you enjoy the journey.
- Normal sudoku rules apply.
- Divide the grid into two sets of orthogonally contiguous cells.
- The two cells with a small star in the top right corner must be from different sets.
- Squares: Digits in a square cell indicates the number of cells in the corresponding row and column combined that are in the same set, including itself.
- Circles: Digits in a circle cell indicates the number of cells in the corresponding row and column combined that are in the other set.
- Not necessarily all squares/circles have been given.

That's one hell of a way to start the randomizer idea. Thrilled you were able to conquer this beast and enjoyed the journey down the rabbit hole!!

Some really lovely logic in the 2nd half thanks!

Thanks polar, this thing went through many versions and a couple of rule changes until I settled on this one and I rather preferred how this one opened and wrapped up. Glad you enjoyed it as well!!

Holy cow, it took me over an hour to properly break in. 4½ difficulty in the end.
