The brief
Extended Sudoku rules apply, place the digits 0-9 in each row, column, and box, however there will be one digit in each that does not fit. This digit can vary between rows, columns, and boxes and needs to be determined by the solver. XV: Digits separated by an X sum to 10, those separated by a V sum to 5. All Xs and Vs have been given. Even: Digits in a cell with a marked square must be even. For this puzzle zero is considered even. Ratio Pairs: Digits separated by a black dot must be in a 2:1 ratio. Anti-King: Cells that are a King's move apart (in chess) may not contain the same digit.
