(Published on 20. January 2024, 01:25 by Cipher Savant)
Kropki dots:
• A white dot between two cells means they differ exactly 1 (for example if one of the cells is 4, the other must be 3 or 5).
• A black dot between two cells means they differ by a factor two (for example if one of the cells is 4, the other must be 2 or 8).
Not all kropki dots are necessarily given.
Furthermore all standard sudoku rules apply.
Play it on F-Puzzles or SudokuPad.

Not sure what I'm missing here but I kept finding very long, trivial chains of reasoning... The kind of thing that makes you feel like you're wasting your time by not bifurcating
