The Positive Diagonal
(Published on 2. November 2023, 23:04 by 99%Sneaky)
- Normal sudoku rules apply.
- Digits along an arrow sum to the digit in the attached circle. Arrows do not branch or overlap.
- Digits along a green line must have a difference of at least 5.
- Digits separated by a black dot are in a 1:2 ratio (i.e. one is double the other). Digits separated by a white dot are consecutive. Not all dots are necessarily given.
- Digits may not repeat along the marked diagonal.
- Boxes 1 and 9 are clones, meaning each digit is in the same relative position in both boxes (i.e. if R1C1 is 8, R7C7 must also be 8).
- Additionally the grid is partially covered in fog. Placing correct digits will clear the fog from surrounding cells, possibly revealing more clues.

Solution code: Digits along the marked diagonal (from bottom-left to top-right) followed by column 9 (top to bottom) - no spaces.
