XY-Cages

(Published on 1. May 2022, 06:05 by glum_hippo)

Standard Sudoku rules are in effect. That is, no repeats in row, column, nor 3x3 box. Killer cages may not contain repeat digits.

A white diamond between two cages means that the difference between their cage totals is equal to the topmost/leftmost digit in the column/row in which that diamond appears.

A black diamond between two cages means that the ratio between their cage totals is equal to the topmost/leftmost digit in the column/row in which that diamond appears.

Version for the CtC App

Solution code: Row 9, then column 7 (18 digits total).
