Bumped
(Published on 1. April 2023, 22:06 by DarthParadox)
Place the digits 1-9 into each row, column, and 3x3 box. Each white dot is between two consecutive digits, and each black dot is between two digits in a 1:2 ratio; not all dots are given. Each X is between two digits that sum to 10, and each V is between two digits that sum to 5; not all Xs or Vs are given.
Also, I'm afraid I accidentally bumped the grid while setting the puzzle, so while the clues stayed in place, the digits are diagonally misaligned (all in the same direction) from where they should be. Luckily, even with the digits bumped, all the clues are still correct!

I didn't understand the meaning of the question at first, but when I realized my mistake, the question became cute

Mind-bending puzzle. Incredible once you understand how to think about it correctly.
