Theta
Why not accept as an axiom, that there exists some next number - so big - no amount of replacement or power setting on anything smaller could ever get you here. Such a number is called an inaccessible cardinal.
Rules:
- Standard sudoku rules apply: The digits 1
through 9 appear in every row, column, and
box.
- XV Pairs: Digits in cells separated by a V sum to 5. Digits in cells separated by an X sum to 10. Not all possible Xs and Vs are necessarily given.
- Roman Numeral Cages: Numbers in cages connected by a C sum to 100. Numbers in cages connected by a D sum to 500. Cages are read top-to-bottom or left-to-right.
- Region Sum Line: The sum of the digits on a blue line within a particular region must be the same for all of the regions the line passes through.

You might go even further than inaccessible (which, obviously, you know) ... but, try as I might, I could not prove 500 inaccessible.
