Here is a puzzle with a simple rule set that has not been used much. I hope you enjoy it. Your comments and ratings are highly appreciated as usual!
RULES: Normal sudoku rules apply. In cages, digits cannot repeat and sum of the even digits must be equal to the sum of the odd digits.
Solution code: Row 3 followed by column 4.

One of those puzzles that on the surface doesn't appear to have a unique solution. Then when you really start to analyze the cages some progress can be made. Then you realize the puzzle has forced you to squeeze every last drop of logic from the cage rules to finish it. Then you sit back, admire the solve and think hmm yes, Emre is a genius. What an awesome puzzle :)

What a great puzzle !! I knew it was worth coming back to it after a first unsuccessful attempt a few weeks back. I got stuck trying too hard to fogure out the parity in the beginning, when I realized I had to actually think about the content of the cages ! This reveal really made my day. Thanks again !

Wow, what a gorgeous and exceptional puzzle! The opening was definitely the trickiest part but once I handled that part, the puzzle started to reveal its own hidden beauty and well-placed gems. Took me about 20 mins in the end to realize that 1+5 is not equal to 4 lol

Excellent puzzle! Felt like 4/5 difficulty to me.

Thank you so much for your kind comment! I have actually posted this puzzle first as 4 stars but then changed its difficulty to 5 stars based on some feedback. It is probably somewhere between 4 and 5 stars.

This was a real challenge even having set a similar rule set recently. There were some really great ideas that were a pleasure to discover! Great puzzle!
