Replace The Pitchfork
(Published on 4. February 2023, 01:05 by JamesCullum)
Replace the Pitchfork is geared to be fun yet puzzling/p>
Rules:
1. Normal sudoku rules apply.
2. Cells separated by a knight's move (in chess) cannot contain the same digit.
3. Digits on an arrow must sum to either double or half of the digit within that arrows circle cell. Once halved or doubled, the value of the arrows circle cell will become that cells value.
4. Digits outside the grid show the sum of the values sandwiched between the 1 and the 9 in the column or row.
5. In cages, values must sum to the small clue in the top left corner. Digits cannot repeat within a cage.
6. Black dots connect two values that are in a 1:2 ratio. Not all dots are necessarily given.
Puzzle:
Please enjoy the puzzle
Solution code: Row 1 and 9 one after the other with no spaces.

@flaemmchen: "Once halved or doubled, the value of the arrows circle cell will become that cells value." Das ist wohl die Erklärung, wie die 44 möglich ist.

Yes. The kropki points take into account the cells value. And those 3 circles will have a value of either half or double the digit within the circle.

the value of the arrows circle cell will become that cells value.
Gilt das auch für die 3 Circle in Reihe 3 in Bezug auf die Kropki-Punkte?
