Midway Find the Vital Triple / Auf halbem Weg das Vital Triple finden
(Published on 13. December 2021, 16:24 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. Digits in the green cells form a complete set from 1-9. Digits must not repeat on the main diagonals. Numbers outside the grid indicate the sum of the digits on their indicated diagonal. Digits on these diagonals may repeat when otherwise allowed. I think this puzzle is two - three stars for difficulty for many solvers. As always, comments appreciated!
Solution code: First row of puzzle, and fourth column of puzzle (read top to bottom). Enter as a string of 18 digits, no spaces.

Very nice puzzle! Took a little bit to find the break in, then got unstuck mid way after fixing my reading comprehension, after that the rest of the puzzle solved itself. I've solved a few of your puzzles now and decided to solve the rest, they're all fantastic! Thank you :)
** Thanks so much for the strong words of support! Means a lot to me. Enjoy the back catalog! :-)

Nice puzzle, thanks! I ended up never using the 8 clue.
**Hmmm - the 2nd comment (first hidden) saying they only needed one little killer clue. Interesting!
