- Normal sudoku rules apply.
- Digits separated by a black dot are in a 1:2 ratio.
- Digits separated by an X must sum to 10.
- Each line has an associated digit N. Within each box that a line passes through, the sum of the digits on the line indicate the position in the box where N must be placed. For example, if N for the 3-cell box 2/5 line is 5, and r2c5 + r3c5 = 7, then r3c4 is 5. Then if r4c5 = 3, then r4c6 is also 5.
The positions in a box are labeled:
1 2 3
4 5 6
7 8 9
The colors have no meaning other than to distinguish between the lines. Different lines may have the same or different associated digits.
Solution code: Row 5 and row 6

Very fun ruleset, and the break in was done very nicely.
I got my head quickly around the way of thinking and the break in, but 3 times in a row got stuck with conflicting digits and therefore no solution, only noticing at the 3rd time I took the wrong associated digit for the orange line in box 7, while I did have the proper association in box 5 xD Only that took me a while

Great puzzle, flows really nicely. And nowhere near as tough as it appears at first glance.

Very nice puzzle. For me only the break-in was 4 stars. Once i solved that, the rest of the puzzle felt more like 2 stars.
But i enjoyed the ruleset a lot!

Once you give yourself a second to wrap your head around the rules, everything starts to flow quite smoothly. Very unique, super fun solve, thanks!
