Number 8 in my Equality Cages series has arrived. The previous and next puzzle in the series:
Equality Cages 107: Archery requires balance
Equality Cages 109: Zip-tied and locked in a cage
All my series:
Equality Cages
EquaLite Cages
Shifter Lines
Shifter Dots
Rules:
Normal Sudoku rules apply. Place the digits 1 through 9 in each empty cell. Digits must not repeat within the same row, column, or box.
Equality cages: Cages must have an equal number of low (1,2,3,4) and high (6,7,8,9) digits AND an equal number of even (2,4,6,8) and odd (1,3,7,9) digits. Equality cages can never contain 5. Digits may not repeat in a cage.
Kropki dots: A black dot between cells indicates cell values with a 2:1 ratio. A white dot between cells indicates cells with consecutive values. Not all dots are shown.
X: Adjacent cells connected with an X must sum to 10. Not all X's are shown.
Fog of war: The grid is covered in fog. Placing correct digits will clear the fog from the surrounding cells.
