Odd/Even Consecutive Killer Sudoku 3
Standard Sudoku rules apply
Standard Killer Sudoku Rules apply
Digits in caged areas add up to the number in the upper left corner. And digits can not repeat in cages.
Killer cages are noted with Even/Odd/? clues
Each letter represents an Even or Odd or unknown digit.
A single ? would indicate a single digit total.
A double digit clue like OE could be 12, 14, or possibly 36.
Shaded cages MUST contain a set of consecutive digits (not necessarily in order)
Unshaded cages must NOT have consecutive digits (at least one digit must interupt a string) (ex. 4561, would be fine)
Zero IS an even number

Solution code: Column 2 + Row 8

@Narayana Thank you. I have just one more in this series. I think it's the best one yet, but we will see.

As usual fantastic job Jeremy!
The link on F-P says the title is Yin-Yang. I think this is a great title because it really shows the inspiration for the puzzle. I am guessing you decided against it for titling it here because of possible confusion with the standard Yin-Yang type of puzzle...
I have seen people complaining about similar things in the past... but to be honest who cares I say if you like the title just stick with it :)
Also here is an alternative link https://f-puzzles.com/?id=y3j56erq that uses lines instead of shading, not as pretty but useful for those who would like to use coloring in the solve.
