Sudoku method 2

 

The first grid consists of 2x2 the same 4x4 Sudoku. In the second grid you find in each 4x4 quadrant 4 different numbers out of 0 up to 15. Each 4x4 quadrant is a proportional 4x4 panmagic square and the combined quadrants are fully 2x2 compact.

 

 

Take 1x numbers from first grid +1

2 1 3 0 2 1 3 0
3 0 2 1 3 0 2 1
0 3 1 2 0 3 1 2
1 2 0 3 1 2 0 3
2 1 3 0 2 1 3 0
3 0 2 1 3 0 2 1
0 3 1 2 0 3 1 2
1 2 0 3 1 2 0 3

 

 

+ 4x numbers from second grid

15 3 12 0 14 2 13 1
0 12 3 15 1 13 2 14
3 15 0 12 2 14 1 13
