Cell Block Tango
(Published on 3. May 2024, 08:00 by Apathetic Husk)
Rules:
Normal sudoku rules apply: Each row, column and box must contain the digits 1 to 9 once each.
Killer: Digits cannot repeat within a cage and must sum to the small clue given in the top left corner of the cage.
Anti-Knight's Move: Any two cells separated by a knight's move (in chess) cannot contain the same digit.
Jail Bars: Each gray line contains the same sequence of digits, but shifted by some amount as if the two ends of the line are connected to each other. The sequence may NOT be reversed. (For example, if one gray line reads "123456789" from top to bottom, another might read "456789123" from top to bottom.)

Cool idea, but much easier than 4* - more like 2* I think.
