- Normal sudoku rules apply.
- Draw a one cell wide loop of orthogonally connected cells. The loop does not branch and cannot touch itself, even diagonally. A digit on the loop indicates the number of times that digit appears on the loop.
- Digits connected on an X sum to 10. Digits connected on a V sum to 5. Xs and Vs are on borders between loop and non-loop cells.

Really beautiful solve path! It's a big accomplishment to make something with rules that are this constrained. Especially something this difficult and fun :)
