Sum to Infinity

(Published on 15. April 2022, 01:43 by Blobz)

An infinite number of mathematicians walk into a bar. The first one orders a pint of bitter. The second one orders half a pint. The third orders a quarter-pint. The next, an eighth. Before the fifth mathematician can place their order, the barman says, "Hang on a mo'..." pours two pints and places them on the bar, saying, "There ya go!"

Normal sudoku rules apply.

The grey lines are palindromes (must read the same in either direction) that both exclude the digit 8.

A single 8 resides inside each loop of the infinity (∞) symbol; all other digits appear along that symbol.

The sum of the digits along the summation (Σ) symbol is a square number, though no individual digit is a square.

All digits on the summation symbol appear in the square (2x2) cage.

The sum of digits in the smaller (1x2) cage is a square.

Digits along indicated diagonals must sum to the given total.

Cells separated by a white dot are consecutive.
