Odd Symbiotes (Sudoku)
(Published on 1. November 2021, 14:05 by PDN777)
Normal sudoku rules apply. Neighboring digits marked with V sum to 5. Neighboring digits marked with X sum to 10. Neighboring digits marked with a white Kropki dot are consecutive. Neighboring digits marked with a black Kropki dot have a 2 to 1 ratio. Not all Vs or Xs or dots are given. Cells with grey circles must contain odd numbers. As always, comments welcome!
Solution code: First row of puzzle, and fourth column of puzzle (read top to bottom). Enter as a string of 18 digits, no spaces.

Tja, wenn man die Bedeutung eines grauen Punktes zu berücksichtigen übersieht, dann hat man schnell mal eine Stunde mit Suchen versenkt. Lehrgeld bezahlt, Rätsel gelöst, alles gut! :D Besten Dank an PDN
** Ja, die Beschränkung der ungeraden Zahl ist in diesem Puzzle sehr wichtig! Besten Dank. :)
