Rules
- Deconstruction: Contained within the grid are nine non-overlapping 3x3 regions, which must be located. Each region contains the digits 1-9 once each, so that no digit repeats in any row or column. Cells outside regions don't contain digits.
- Doublers: Each region contains a single doubler cell, whose value is double its digit for the purpose of cage totals. No row or column contains more than one doubler, and each digit appears in exactly one doubler.
- Killer: Digits may not repeat in a cage, and the sum of cell values in a cage equals the clue in the top left corner of the cage.
Solution code: Column 6 (use 0 for empty cells).

Excellent puzzle. Took me 4 tries. Finally got it when I stopped making stupid assumptions at the end!

An absolutely fantastic puzzle! It was very very hard for me but as I got my head around the logic, it turned out to be a very smooth puzzle. Looks so approachable once you discover pieces of logic after long periods of staring at the puzzle.
The logic involving doublers is so neat and the cage sums are so marvellously selected so asto drive you along the solve path.
Thanks @Jay_Dyer for yet another masterpiece out of your quiver.
