Normal sudoku rules apply. A loop must be drawn. The loop may only move orthogonally and must not touch itself, either orthogonally or diagonally. Additionally, the loop must pass through every 3x3 box. Adjacent digits on the loop must have a difference of at least five. A digit in a circle indicates how many of its up to eight surrounding cells must be on the loop. Circles are not part of the loop.
Digits in cells separated by a black dot must be such that one digit is double the other. Digits in cells joined by a V sum to 5. [This last rule was omitted from the card in the video!]
