Usually sequential numbers cannot be placed next to each other unless they are marked with a white dot. Has this changed?

This does not apply here, Caroline, as the only restrictions are on numbers that sum to 5 or 10. Consecutive numbers are restricted in Kropki and Consecutive puzzles, but not here.

I assume you mean consecutive numbers, Caroline, (sequential can mean something different) The rule you refer to only applies in certain puzzles e.g. kropki Consecutive numbers are allowed here except for 2 and 3 as their sum is 5.

Over to you Gareth!!!

Yes, Elisabeth is exactly correct. There is no constraint on consecutive digits in an 'XV' puzzle.

Key

• A yellow/light blue highlight in the time distribution charts highlights your time, where relevant.
• Rating scores out of 10.0 show the average difficulty rating chosen by users, where 1.0 is "Easy" and 10.0 is "Hard".
• If a puzzle is opened more than once, including by loading from a saved position, then this is potentially a significant aid so it is listed as being completed with 'multiple sessions' for the purpose of the best time/average rating displays above.
• Minor aid is defined as no more than one use of 'Check solution' when incomplete and/or no more than one use of 'Check solution' when wrong; and/or using highlighting aids (show repeated digits, show broken inequalities and show valid/invalid placements [slitherlink] only). Major aid is any and all other use of the solving aids except for 'show wrong'.
