The brief
Normal sudoku rules apply, place the digits 1-9 in each row, column, and box.

Digits located within circles indicate how many edges it has along the line, all circles have been provided. Digits located within boxes indicate how many of its corners touch the line, all boxes have been provided. This line touches all nine boxes, but does not necessarily go through every box, also this line can travel along the outer most edge of the grid. The line does not represent all consecutive adjacent digits.
