Puzzle rules:
- Normal sudoku rules apply.
- Killer cages: Digits in cages must sum to the number in the top-left corner and cannot repeat.
- Renban lines: Every pink line contains a set of consecutive digits in any order, without repeats.
- Region sum lines: Blue lines are divided into segments by region borders. Digits on these lines sum to the same value for each line segment.
- Kindred line: Adjacent digits on the yellow line must have a difference of less than 3.
Solution code: Column 8 from top to bottom (9 digits, no spaces)

Very cool puzzle, quite a bit of work figuring out de renbans. Nice logic with the kindred line. Haven't seen that line used any time recently. Thanks!

Loved it! Great idea for a puzzle. I was completely absorbed for all the 100 minutes it took me to solve. I found it quite tough, not because the sudoku techniques were necessarily obscure or hard to see, but rather the mental strain in systematically going through all of the different permutations in your head in order to rule them out. I think 3 stars is probably about right. Thanks very much!

Tough IMO, but very cool!
