  • Inequality

The brief

  • Normal sudoku rules apply, i.e. each row, column and 3x3 region has to contain the digits from 1 to 9 once each.
  • Region sum lines: Box borders divide the blue lines into segments with the same sum. (Different lines may have different sums.)
  • Pea lines: The sum of the digits on a line strictly between two circles is equal to a concatenation of the two values in the circles, in some order. For instance, 3_346_1 could be a valid split pea line, as 3+4+6=13, which is 1 concatenated with 3. (Note: The bounding circles are not part of the region sums.)
  • Inequality: The > is a "greater than" and points to the lower digit.
Last Resort: May look intimidating, actually a fabulous Sudoku Contains the full solution
