This is the very first puzzle I’ve created! I’m immensely grateful to Cracking the Cryptic and Logic Masters Germany for introducing me into the world of variant sudoku; to all the people in this wonderful community who have encouraged me to dip my toes into puzzle creation; and most importantly, to @Raumplaner for taking me on as a newbie partner with an unknown and untested ruleset.
