Extended Sudoku rules apply, place the digits 0-9 in each row, column, and box, however there will be one digit in each that does not fit. This digit can vary between rows, columns, and boxes and needs to be determined by the solver.
XV: Digits separated by an X add to 10, those separated by a V add to 5.
Kropki: Digits separated by a white dot are consecutive. All white dots have been given.
Knights Move: Digits separated by a chess knights move cannot contain the same digit.

The negative constraint is the key for solving this quite approachable puzzle (two stars - at most). The solution path is surprisingly smooth and straight forward, the setting is elegant and beautiful. Thank you very much for creating and sharing.

May be obvious to some, but I got hung up since no Xs or Vs have dots. The negative white dot constraint DOES apply to boundaries that have Xs and Vs as well.

I am completely lost for this one... it's been an hour and I can't figure out what to do

Got stuck at first because I missed the first rule. Once I noticed that, it still took me a long time, but I got it. I haven't been here long enough to really have a great feel for the ratings, but in my limited experience, it feels more like a 3 than a 2.
