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.
Digits along pink 'Renban' line' form an unordered set of consecutive digits
Digits separated by a black dot have a 1:2 ratio. Not all dots are given.
Solution code: Column 5, top to bottom

Incredible! I thought I've known enough about renban, but this puzzle makes me re-learn the property of 3-cell renban lines!

The reasoning was subtle enough that I ended up brute forcing it. So I solved it again, this time with a better understanding of where to look for the next deduction points. Thanks for setting!

A while back I mentioned that a puzzle was perfect to complete quietly throughout a (lovely) dinner with the in-laws. This one served a similar purpose, chipped away at during a full staff meeting.
Thanks for this smooth and visually striking puzzle mormagli!
