Normal sudoku rules, German whisper rules, and ten line rules apply.
German whispers are green lines. Adjacent digits along a Green line must differ by at least 5.
Ten Lines are gray. Gray lines must be decomposted into disjoint groups of adjacent digits that sum to ten. Digits may repeat within tensums if allowed by other rules.
Have fun, leave a comment if you enjoy the puzzle!

Solution code: Row 5

Beautiful! Nice to solve a puzzle without getting too stuck or making any mistakes - unusual for me! Lovely flow to it and stunning symmetry, and brilliantly showcases the fun ways in which German Whispers and Ten Lines can interact.

Super clean but with interesting logic throughout. Lovely puzzle.

Really nice and enjoyable puzzle! The symmetry and overall look of the grid is amazing and the interactions between the different lines is very interesting.

Fun puzzle. The tricky 10-line in box 3 brought me knots in my brain...
Thank you for sharing! :-))

A fun puzzle. It took me a while to work out the break in though I think that was more me not paying attention than anything else.

The elegance of this setting is just overwhelming. Solving it felt indeed like living in a house full of fun. Thank you so much for sharing this gem.

Wow that was a thing of Beauty!
The fact that the puzzle looks so good while solving so nice is just unfair!
This may be my fav approachable Zetamath puzzle yet!

That was lovely! Thank you.

Fun, fun, fun. This is very clever and witty and most enjoyable. The interactions between the two symmetrical variant line types is impressive. Well done and thank you for sharing.

"Gray lines must be decomposted into disjoint groups of adjacent digits that sum to ten." Could someone reword this into easier to understand words so I can attempt this puzzle? Possibly with an example of a string of digits that would satisfy the requirement?
[An example of a length 8 line would be 46 - 37 - 5221 where the hyphens separate groups that sum to 10. Do note that a line can be a single sum to ten, so a length 3 line can just 145 or 262.]

100% symmetry always amazes me, especially when it holds nice logic and solves smoothly. To me this looks a bit like a traditional chinese mask :-)

Very entertaining puzzle overall! The U line in box 2-3 was especially nice, and the solve path became silky smooth after that :)
(also that funny complete symmetry though)

Very fun puzzle! I found it pretty tricky as well, and it all resolved impressively at the end.
