RULES
Normal sudoku rules apply.
Digits in the cage surrounding box 5 must be deduced by solving the below cryptic-crossword-clues. Each letter corresponds to the digit on which it's found on a standard telephone-keypad (cheat-sheet provided below the rules).
Identical digits may not be a chess-knight's move apart.
Digits joined by a white dot must be consecutive.
Digits joined by a black dot must be in a 2:1 ratio.
Digits joined by a green dot must differ by at least 5.
Digits joined by a red dot must be of different moduli mod-3; that is to say if one digit is from the set [1,4,7], the other must be from either [2,5,8] or [3,6,9].
Digits joined by an X must sum to 10.
