This 6x6 Puzzle Drives Sudoku Expert Crazy!!

*** TODAY'S PUZZLE *** We are so lucky on this channel to have the opportunity of sharing with you the output of minds like ThePedallingPianist's. His latest sudoku, Moving Day?, is his usual fare: brilliant, original and totally bonkers. Oh and hardly anyone seems to have solved it!! Play the puzzle at the link below: https://sudokupad.app/eh7t6u3zz8 Rules: Select six different digits from the set 1-9. Use these six digits only to fill every cell such that a digit does not repeat in a row, column or box. Grey lines are entropic AND modular; i.e every 3-cell sequence on a line must contain a digit from {123}, one from {456} and {789}; also these digits must include one from {147}, one from {258} and one from {369}. Both indicated diagonals have the same sum. The inequality sign ‘points’ to the lower digit. Any 5 in the grid must have a 1 directly above it or a 9 directly below it (or both). [This last rule is apparently sometimes called 'Dutch Flatmates'!!] The musical intro today is based on Mark Knopfler's All That Matters.
