Whispered Sums
(Published on 2. February 2024, 00:22 by averagecrow92)
Cells separated by a white dot contain consecutive digits.
Cells separated by a black dot contain digits in a 1:2 ratio (i.e. one digit is double the other)
Cells separated by a V contain digits that sum to 5.
Cells separated by an X contain digits that sum to 10.
Along green lines, digits must differ by at least 5.
For killer cages:
Digits may not repeat within a cage, AND the sum of a cage is determined by the sum of the digits along the green line within that box.
Eg: If box 7 has the digits 1, 8, and 2 along the green line within that box, then the killer cage in that box must sum to 11 (1+8+2)

Solution code: Row 9

Very approachable, thank you for sharing!
Some things I want to note:
- I didn't need the killer cage in the top right.
- I was stuck with three 2-3-7 doubles in column 1 and 2 at the end, which I could not resolve in a logical way. Due to Row 9 being required for the solve, it didn't matter too much, but felt a little unsatisfying either way.
