The Strange & Beautiful Zebra Sudoku
1,235*** TODAY'S PUZZLE ***
A debut on the channel for Lake and their incredible puzzle My Strange Zebra (surely one of the great titles?!) This sudoku is quite magical: the path is SO good... how can this be one of Lake's first puzzles?!?!?!
Play the puzzle at the link below:

Rules:
Normal sudoku rules apply. Shade some cells such that all shaded cells are orthogonally connected and all unshaded cells are orthogonally connected. No 2x2 area may be fully shaded or unshaded. When a segment of a grey line is shaded, it acts as a “renban” line. Digits on a renban line form a non-repeating set of consecutive digits, in any order. When a segment of a grey line is unshaded, it acts as a “german whisper” line. Adjacent digits along a german whisper line must have a difference of at least 5. Each german whisper and renban line must be at least 2 cells long.
