Renban Lines: Digits on a pink Renban line are a set of nonrepeating consecutive numbers in any order.
Quadruple Circle: The digit 4 from the large circle must appear in at least one of the four surrounding cells.
V-sum: The pair of cells separated by a V must sum to 5.
Yin Yang: Every cell in the grid must be shaded either blue or yellow, so that a) each color forms a single orthogonally continuous area, and b) no 2x2 of cells is entirely one color.
Grey Shapes: The grey circle contains an odd number and is shaded blue. The grey square contains an even number and is shaded yellow.
7 1/2 cages: In a cage, digits may not repeat. Every cage sums to 7 1/2.
For the purposes of CAGE SUMS ONLY, the values of digits in blue cells are halved.
Lösungscode: Row 8 (no spaces)

Very nice intro puzzle. I have no criticism of the puzzle itself. It flowed very well throughout. I would just add that most sudokus on LMD include an image of the starting grid in the description. According to my time to complete, I would rate the difficulty at about a 2.5*-3*, so I gave it a 3.
Eespi: Thank you for solving and for your feedback! I went back and clarified the ruleset, fixed the formatting, and changed the difficult to 3*.

Took me a while to finish this puzzle. Not a 2 * puzzle, more like a 3 or 4* puzzle. I wasn’t sure what standard circle and squares were so I had to look that up. And maybe hyperlink the link to the puzzle next time. I think being verbose in the instructions is better in the future.
Otherwise it was a really good challenging puzzle, that flowed quite well.
Thanks :)
