Standard Sudoku rules apply.
The board has different colored lines on it. The two cells connected by the lines may be one of the following four cases:
- Sum is 5;
- Sum is 10;
- Difference is 1;
- Ratio is 1:2.
Lines of the same color represent the same situation; lines of different colors are different and need to be inferred by the solver. Not all lines are given.
Identical pairs are directly connected by only one color line (e.g. 2 and 3 are connected by a line with a difference of 1, they are not connected by a line with a sum of 5)

If you are not sensitive to the color distinction in the diagram, use this link , which distinguishes the four colors using different shaped lines.
Solution code: Column 2 and Column 8

What a lovely ruleset. Took me a bit to figure out the identities of each line, because of the little trick the sudoku pulled. After that, it fell apart really nicely. Thank you so much!
