...or Everything is Everage.
NOTE: I have deliberately chosen not to translate this puzzle into German. The rules are fairly complicated and a google translation might lead to misunderstandings.Rules:
In the context of this puzzle, average means summing to an average value of 5.- Normal Sudoku rules apply.
- Along colored lines, the digits must all be different and must sum to an average value. The central E is to be considered as one long line of length 9.
- Through every cell in the 9x9 grid of cells pass two diagonals of length 1 to 9. In the finished solution, at least one of these diagonals must be average. Moreover the sum of all diagonals of the same length must be average.
- Two digits seperated by a black dot must have a ratio of 1:2.
Example: The cell r1c1 has a 1-cell diagonal and a 9-cell diagonal passing through it. Either the cell is 5 (average 1-cell diagonal) or the 9-cell diagonal is 45 (average 9-cell diagonal).
Example: The sum of an average 5-cell diagonal is 5 * 5 = 25. Thus the sum of all 5-cell diagonals in this puzzle is 25 * 4 = 100.

Have a nice day :)

You might want to add the "Sudoku" written tag (and remove the standard puzzle icon, since it is not a classic sudoku). That way, those who want to try a sudoku will find it and those who don't won't.

Will try that. Thanks.

It worked, I can see the puzzle now. Funny - I distinctly remember adding written tags, scanning through them to find suitable ones. Don't know why they vanished.

SE: Usually when creating a sudoku puzzle page, the "Sudoku" tag automatically gets added (when you select the option saying that it is a Sudoku). It's odd that it vanished.
