0-4 Sudoku: Within the main grid (inside the thick border), fill every cell with a digit from 0-4 such that digits do not repeat in a row or column.
Doublers: Within the main grid, there are 5 doubler cells, one per row and column, and each digit appears in a doubler cell once each.
Modified Full Rank: A value in an external cell represents the rank of the number formed by reading the digits in that row or column from that direction, where (1) is the lowest such row or column and (20) is the highest. A digit in a doubler cell represents double that digit, e.g. "13*204" would represent the 5-digit number "16204".
N.B. If two ranks are tied, the value in both external cells is the lower of the two ranks being shared. For example, if the lowest four ranks are "12403", "13820", "13820" and "14034", the values in the relevant external cells would be (1), (2), (2) and (4) respectively.
