Multiple Cell Kropki
(Published on 22. December 2020, 23:44 by PrimeWeasel)
Normal Sudoku and Killer Rules apply.
Irregular Kropki rules apply. White dots are placed between groups of 2,3 or 4 digits where there is a difference of 1 between the sum of these groups. A group consists of the same amount of cells on both sides of the dot. So, for instance, 2571 would have a dot between 5 and 7 (sums are 7 and 8), 73298651 would have a dot between 9 and 8 (sums are 21 and 20). All possible white dots are given.
Black dots are placed between groups of 2,3 or 4 digits with a 1:2 ratio, where the sum must also consist of the same amount of cells on both sides of the dot. So, for instance, 1437 (sums of 5 and 10) would have a black dot between 4 and 3, 974532 (sums of 20 and 10) would have a black dot between 4 and 5. All black dots are given.
If both a white and black dot would appear in the same spot, I have put a grey dot instead.

What a ride. Spotted the break-in pretty early but that didn't make it any easier. With all that math I was waiting for a desaster every minute. Somehow, it never happened. Phew!
I enjoyed this tremendously. :)
~ A fourth solve, I would've never thought this moment would happen!

A cliffhanger, were one continuously fears that the line will break. Worth to be recommended. Thanks.

Maybe the Sudoku lovers don't find it, because the tag is missing. And the others ignore it, because it's a Sudoku.
~thanks for mentioning, I hadn't realized the tag was missing

Not a comment, not a solve. Are the rules confusing, or does the puzzle have a disheartening look? If you start at the right place, it's definitely doable. It even has a negative constraint! @Richard
