Self-Referential Sudoku

(Published on 21. June 2024, 12:02 by Awedish)

Rules:

Normal sudoku rules apply. Additionally, there are 8 numbered cages which contain values that satisfy their corresponding rule:

[1] The number of cells along the blue diagonal containing a value greater than this cage
[2] The index of the only column where cells strictly alternate between odd and even values
[3] 4 less than double the value of cage 7
[4] The number of cages with odd values
[5] The value of cage 4
[6] The value of this cage (no information given)
[7] The number of cages with even values
[8] The only other cage number whose value is the same as this one

For example, if cage [2] contained the value 3, the third column of the puzzle might read "634125" from top to bottom.

Clue 6 is a non-clue. It provides no information. You can treat it as saying "???"
