35My solve of "Viva Lost Wages" by Andrewsarchus; a sudoku using a variety of interacting constraints.
This puzzle uses a lot of different rules, including a variation of the 159 ruleset, slot machine, Between Lines, a variation of Little Killer, a variation of X-Sums, and a variation of clone cells.
Details of how this all works can be found below, and I do my best to describe it in the video.

Rules for "World of Sudoku 216":
- Normal Sudoku rules apply.
- In columns 1, 4, and 7 the digits in the column indicates the position of the columns digit in the row.
- In columns 2, 5, and 8 the digits contain the same sequence of digits with different starting points. The sequence wraps from the bottom of the column back to the top.
- Digits on between lines (cherries) must be strictly between the digits in the circles on that line.
- Clues A and B each contain the sum of the first X digits in their column from the bottom upward, where X is the digits in the cell closest to the clue.
- Clue C contains the sum of the digits along the negative diagonal.
- The values of A,B,C are two digit values obtained by reading the bulbs of the between lines. Each pair, read left to right, gives a two digit number. The solver must determine which number corresponds to which letter.
- The set of digits in the cells in row 9 containing the cherries is the same set of digits that appear on the between lines in row 4.
