Puzzle # 7: XV(-) Sudoku!


Hello again! We're back with another sudoku, and yet another variant; an XV(-) Sudoku! Easier than my last offering but not my easiest puzzle either. I quite like negative constraints when solving sudokus, so I thoroughly enjoyed test solving this XV(-) Sudoku. Note the "-" means negative constraint as defined by the last part of the rules below, and that's the key to solving these puzzles because one must ask the question: "Where does a digit NOT go?"


Rules:

- Apply classic sudoku rules

- Cells separated by an X must sum to 10

- Cells separated by a V must sum to 5

- Cells NOT separated by an X or a V must NOT sum to 10 or 5
