Chaos Kropki
(Published on 23. November 2023, 16:11 by Kippar)
RULES:
Normal chaos construction rules apply: Place digits 1-9 in every row, column, and 9 cell region. These regions are made up of orthogonally connected cells, and must be found by the solver.
Cells separated by a grey dot have a ratio of 3:1. Cells separated by a white dot are consecutive. HOWEVER, all dots on region borders do not necessarily follow these constraints. Not all dots are shown.
Digits in circles show the sum of the digits in each direction, (excluding diagonals), stopping at borders.
The digit in r1c7 (The grey circle) is odd.
An example solve is shown below:
Solution code: Row 2 followed by row 7. (Rows are read left to right, no spaces.)

In the example puzzle there is a 3 and 5 separated by a white dot in the same region in column six. Am I misunderstanding the rules?

Yes, there were 3-9 pairs that gave the puzzle two solutions, but the white dot in column 5 should have resolved them.

Nice puzzle, but I ended up with multiple solutions at the end (on the old version). I’m struggling to see which clues are different in this new version.
