Ambiguous Kropki and XV rules continue to intrigue me, so here is another puzzle that explores some of the more approachable implications. For advanced implications, see String Theory. Enjoy!
Rules:
Normal Sudoku: Place the digits 1 to 9 in every row, column, and 3x3 box.
Ambiguous Kropki: Digits joined by a gray dot must be consecutive and/or in a 2:1 ratio. Not all gray dots are necessarily given.
Ambiguous XV: Digits joined by a blue diamond sum to either 5 or 10. Not all blue diamonds are necessarily given.
Solve online:
Solution code: Row 9

Making wrong assumptions is very easy, but in the end it's very rewarding: very nice setting.

Great puzzle. Thank you for sharing, and also for providing the solution in the sudoku pad, and for having to enter only one row as the solution code. For the life of me, I cannot understand why so many constructors feel the need to force people to enter two rows/columns in the solution code - a pain in the lower back, as if one row/column of possible combinations would not be enough to ensure no one is cheating…

Great puzzle, the flow is excelent though the breaking took some figuring out.
