Normal Sudoku rules apply.
Cells form a horizontal cycle of length n within a row if, by repeatedly jumping to the column indicated by each cell's digit, it takes n jumps to return to the starting position - e.g. C2=4 -> C4=1 -> C1=9 -> C9=2 -> C2=4
A vertical cycle within a column is defined in a similar way - e.g. R7=3 -> R3=5 -> R5=7 -> R7=3
