Pseudo-Kropki Lines

(Published on 17. September 2022, 16:00 by apc)

Rules:

1. Normal sudoku rules apply.

2. Killer: Digits in a cage must sum to the given total in the upper left corner of the cage.

3. In at least one of the directions on the green lines, each digit must either be twice the previous digit or 9 less than twice the previous digit. It is up to the solver to infer the direction. (For example, on the upper right diagonal 4-cell line, 2-4-8-7 is valid as 2(2)=4, 2(4)=8, and 2(8)-9=7, but 1-2-1-2 is not valid as 2(2) is not 1).

@ScatterBrain Thanks for the feedback! For the record, no bifurcation is intended, but I think I will increase the number of stars.
