Sudoku Variants Series (282) - Delimited Kropki Sudoku
(Published on 19. August 2020, 00:00 by Richard)
Delimited Kropki
Solve online in Penpa+ (Thanks Nick Smirnov).
Inspiration for this type comes from Sudoku GP 2020 Czech Republic round.
Apply classic sudoku rules.
Only for two cells connected by a grey line, kropki rules apply:
A white circle between two cells indicates that the neighbouring digits are consecutive.
A black circle between two cells indicates that one of the digits is twice as big as the other digit.
The absence of a circle indicates that there is no neighbouring digit that is either consecutive or double.
Be aware that between digits 1 and 2 the circle can be either white or black.
Solution code: Row 5, followed by column 7.

Ich hab ein bißchen gebraucht, bis ich den Einstieg gefunden habe, aber dann ging es (wie immer bei Richards Rätseln) logisch durch

@Henrypijames: Great! Armoured with that new knowledge I can recommend you SVS58, 161 and 181. ;-)

Thanks for the hint - it was very helpful, and, just as I suspected, a piece of basic Kropki logic that I failed to discover. Had I known this logic a priori, I would've agreed with the 3-star difficulty.

I received some feed back about the difficulty level of this one. There is a not-so-hard-to-spot logical opening in this puzzle. It may be not in the most trivial place though.
Understanding how kropki dots work may help. Especially if you are new to it.
