Dots on Diags (Sudoku)
(Published on 7. November 2021, 16:05 by PDN777)
Normal sudoku rules apply. 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 dots are given. Digits must not repeat on the main diagonals. Digits in a cage must sum to the little number in the upper left, and may not repeat in the cage. 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.

I thought this would be a breeze after the break-in, but the midpoint actually slowed me down. Great puzzle! Very elegant layout and logic.
** Thanks! I hadn't looked at this grid for a while - it is quite nice, if I do say so myself! ;-)

Thank you all for the comments! I actually posted the puzzle with 2 stars - the solvers made it 1 for a while; now it's back up to 2! :-) // Yes, I was happy with the flow of this puzzle. Again, thanks one and all for the solves! :-)

Hoppla ...da hat sich bei mir ein Schlampigkeitsfehler eingeschlichen der sich aber recht schnell zu erkennen gegeben hat. Schönes Rätsel, das dann doch nicht so einfach ist wie man auf den ersten Blick vermutet.
Besten Dank an PDN
** freut mich, dass du den Fehler gefunden hast. Danke noch einmal!
