Are Twenty Lines Twice as Fun as Ten Lines?
628Here's where you can try Twenty Lines by Rangsk: https://app.crackingthecryptic.com/sudoku/y74wrbb125
Normal sudoku rules apply. Each line must be completely divided into one or more non-overlapping strings of adjacent digits which add to 20. Note that repeats are still allowed within these sums within the normal constraints of sudoku. Digits separated by a black dot have a 1:2 ratio.
