---- RULES ----

Normal Sudoku rules apply: Fill the grid with digits 1 to 9 appearing once each in every row, column, and 3x3 box.

Colorful Dots and Lines: Connect dots of equal color via a non-branching line moving orthogonally through centers of cells in the grid such that

• every cell in the grid lies on exactly one line and
• no 2x2 area is fully covered by the same line.

Some (not necessary all) of these lines are either a Renban or a Between Line. Through every 3x3 box, exactly one of each type passes through.

Between Lines: Cells along lines between two circles must have values between those in the circles. Digits may repeat along Between Lines, if allowed by other rules.

Renban Lines: Renban Lines consist of non-repeating consecutive digits in any order. If a Renban Line is longer than 9 cells, it is split into N sets of non-repeating consecutive digits, with N being the smallest possible number that leads to N sets of equal size (with size ≤ 9. Eg., a line of length 24 would be split into 3 sets of size 8). The size of each such set must be larger than 1. Along the line, the sets are separated, ie., in the example above, the first 8 digits form one set, the next 8 another, and the last 8 the remaining set.

XV Clues: Cells connected by a V add up to 5, cells connected by an X add up to 10. Not all XV Clues are necessarily given.
