Rules:
- Normal sudoku rules apply.
- Draw a single 1-cell-wide loop of orthogonally connected cells into the grid. The loop cannot branch or touch itself orthogonally, but can touch itself diagonally at most once.
- 3x3 sudoku boxes are numbered from 1 to 9 left-to-right then top-to-bottom.
Box n must contain n loop cells for n between 1 and 7 included. Boxes 8 and 9 have no such contraints. - The loop serves as a German whisper line, which means each adjacent cells along the loop must be separated by at least 5.
- Cells separated by a black dot are in a 1:2 ratio.
