Exclusionary Principle, by James Sinclair
Normal sudoku rules apply.
Numbers outside the grid give the sum of the digits along the indicated diagonal.
Digits in cells separated by an X sum to 10. All possible X's are given.
Digits in cells with a shaded circle must be odd.

Haha, you really never fail to entertain me there x)
I found this one a tad bit harder than 2/5 diff, but it's a lovely puzzle with some neat uses of the negative constraint :)
