The brief
One of the digits 0-9 are to be placed in the empty cells in each row, column, and region but cannot repeat. Non-consecutive: Adjacent digits may not be consecutive except when forced by other rules. Monoliths: These are a void and suck up digits, but also act as a bridge, digits directly across from each other through the void cannot be consecutive. X: Digits separated by an X add to 10. Odd: Digits in a grey circle are odd. Kropki: Digits between white dot are consecutive, and digits between a black dot are in a ratio of 2:1. Quadruples: digits in the small white circle must appear in one of the four surrounding cells. Thermometers: Digits along the grey line increase from bulb end. German Whisper: Adjacent digits on a green line must be at least 5 apart. Killer cages: Digits in cages add up to the total in the corner. Arrows: digits along the arrow add up to the value in the circle.
