Rules:
- Normal Sudoku rules apply.

- Arrows. Digits along arrows must sum to the number in its circled cell.
- Large Kropki dots. Digits in cells joined by a large white dot are consecutive, and digits in cells joined by a large black dot are in a 1:2 ratio. Not all large dots are given.
- Small Kropki dots. Sums of killer cages joined by a small white dot are consecutive, and sums of killer cages joined by a small black dot are in a 1:2 ratio. Not all small dots are given.
- Renban lines. Digits along pink Renban lines form a set of consecutive digits in any order.
- German whispers. Adjacent digits along green lines must differ by at least 5.
