Rules:

Sudoku: Place the digits 1-9 once each in every row, column, and 3x3 box.

Modular Lots: A digit in a teal circle belongs to a modular group ([147], [258], or [369]). The circled digit indicates how many digits from that modular group appear along the attached line. -- For example: if r2c7 is a 5, then there are five digits from the [258] group on the attached line, including the circled 5.

Zipper Lines: Digits an equal distance from the center of a hollow lavender line sum to the same total. For odd-length lines, the total is the digit placed in the line's center. Digits may repeat on a line, if allowed by other rules.

German Whisper: Adjacent digits on a green line must have a difference of at least five.

Renban: Digits placed on purple lines must be a non-repeating set of consecutive digits, in any order.
