Fifteen Cages (fog)
(Published on 27. August 2024, 17:03 by jwsinclair)
Fifteen Cages, by James Sinclair
Normal sudoku rules apply.
Correctly placed digits clear the fog around them.
The grid contains exactly 15 cages that do not overlap, do not contain repeated digits, and each occupy two or more cells.
Not all cage sums are given, but sums that are given are located in the top left corner of the left-most cell in the highest row reached by the cage.
Two cages of the same size cannot have the same sum (regardless of whether either cage's sum is given).
Digits in cells with a shaded circle must be odd.
Digits in cells separated by a black dot have a 1:2 ratio.

Smooth sailing, through this amazing puzzle. Some unique deductions I have not used before. Very fun to logically finding a way through it.
Not to hard felt like there was a flow, never got really Stuck but some places needed a bit more thinking, would love to see more like it.
Great construction
