X Dots
(Published on 31. December 2021, 18:15 by Nahileon)
Normal Sudoku rules apply.
Digits may not repeat on either of the main diagonals. They are marked by black lines.
Kropki: Digits separated by a black dot have a ratio of 1:2. Not all possible dots are given.
Little Killer: Clues outside the grid give the total on the indicated diagonal. Digits may repeat on these diagonals if allowed by the other rules.
Solution code: Row 1 in the Sudoku.

Lovely break-in idea, and it just falls into place so beautifully and unexpectedly. Well done!

Very enjoyable solve. Almost felt like a GAS, I was surprised when I looked up at the clock and 25 minutes had passed!

Thanks everyone! I'll definitely consider sending it to the CTC-Channel.

Easily one of the best puzzles I've solved this year. It doesnt do anything new or fancy, but it does it very well. A great example of this set of rules working together

Gorgeous logic, I actually didn't find it too hard...mostly satisfying! Would still say "average" given the complexity of the logic chain.

This is a perfect CTC puzzle IMO. Beautiful starting logic.

A beautiful puzzle that would deserve to be featured on CTC. Should be just in their wheelhouse.
