  • Kropki dots
  • XV and number dots

The brief

Normal sudoku rules apply.

YIN YANG YONG: Divide the grid into three regions of orthogonally connected cells. No 2x2 area can be entirely within one region.

TWO TRUTHFUL REGIONS AND A LIAR REGION: Clues always sit entirely within one region. For two of the regions, all of its clues tell the truth, obeying the rules listed below. But the 3rd region is a liar region. All of the clues in the liar region break their rule.

CLUES TYPES:

  • If a V sits between two digits, they sum to 5.
  • If a BLACK DOT sits between two digits, one is double the other.
  • If a WHITE DOT sits between two digits, they are consecutive.
  • If a YELLOW SQUARE sits between two digits, they are not consecutive.
  • If a GREEN DIAMOND sits between two digits, they have a difference of at least 5.
  • If a RED DOT sits between two digits, one is odd and the other is even.
  • A digit in a CIRCLE indicates the sum of all the digits seen in the direction of its arrow, until the first region border is reached.
