Kropki Indicator Sudoku

(Published on 4. December 2020, 14:02 by udukos)

Normal Sudoku rules apply.

White dots between two cells indicate consecutive digits and black dots between two cells indicate a ratio of 1:2. A pair of orthogonally adjacent cells in the grid with a 1 and a 2 can have either a black or a white dot between them.

A value of N in a cell with an arrow indicates the number of kropki dots in the direction of the arrow.
Black arrow - indicates total number of black dots
White arrow - indicates total number of white dots
Grey arrow - indicates total number of dots (either black or white or both)

All the possible arrows have not been given.
Here is an example on a 6*6 grid:


Good Luck. Have fun.

"Dots generated by the arrows do not support a negative constraint." What does it mean?

--Sorry for the late reply. It means that the grid may have kropki dots other than those generated by the given arrows. On a second thought I think I didn't require to write that. I will remove the sentence as it just complicates the rules.
