Normal sudoku rules apply. The puzzle employs 4 different line constraints (explained below). Each line respects exactly 1 or 2 of these constraints. Each possible combination is represented exactly once.
Renban: Contains a set of consecutive digits,in any order.
German Whispers: Consecutive digits along the line must differ by at least 5.
Thermometers: Digits explicitly rise along the line from the bulb end. The bulb may be in any position along the line which may therefore branch. The solver must locate the position of the bulb.
Arrows: The digits along the line sum to the total in the circle. The circle may be in any position along the line which may therefore branch. The solver must locate the position of the circle.
A white dot separates cells containing consecutive digits.
