Pebbles (Ambiguous XV/kropki pairs sudoku)
(Published on 13. August 2023, 11:59 by Qodec)
After Niverio's Candy Craze.
- Sudoku: Each row, column, and region indicated by thick borders in the grid must contain the digits 1 to 9 once each.
-
Ambiguous kropki/XV pairs: The grid is cluttered with 4 different shapes. Each shape (triangle, diamond, square, or circle) represents one of the following relationships between the two cells it connects:
- ('Black dot') One of the digits in those cells is exactly double the other.
- ('White dot') The two digits in those cells must be consecutive.
- ('X') The digits in those cells must add up to 10.
- ('V') The digits in those cells must add up to 5.

Good one, thanks. Mostly pretty smooth for me except one deduction which took me an age.

Lots of neat and fun interactions in here! Couple points took me much longer than expected but it's still pleasant to see the needed things to proceed x)
