Tears of a Clown

Not graded: we can’t read all its rules yet

The brief

Standard sudoku rules apply: each row, column, and 3x3 box must contain all the digits from 1 to 9.

Lines of five cells or fewer are normal Renban lines: they contain a non-repeating set of consecutive digits, in any order.

Lines of more than five cells are Run-on Renban lines: every contiguous group of five cells along the line behave as a regular Renban line.
