Solve with SudokuPad.
Rules:
- Standard Sudoku rules apply.
- Product Bands: Multiplying the digits on two circles of the same color equals the sum of the digits on the line connecting them.
- Each product band is associated with a unique color and does not split.
- Digits on the endpoints of a product band index either their row, column, or box.
- Little Killers: Digits along the indicated diagonal add up to the number provided and may repeat if allowed by other rules.
- Kropki Dots: Digits separated by a black dot are in a 1:2 ratio; not all black dots are necessarily given.
- Fog: The grid is partially covered with fog. Correctly placed digits will clear the fog around that cell. No guessing is required.
Solution code: Row 9 from left to right (9 digits).

Am absolutely beautiful puzzle! I quickly found myself scratching my head when determining the shape of the second product line but I resisted the urge to guess and chipped away and got there in the end. Wonderful logic until the last number. Great stuff.

Nice! I feel as though I may have skipped some steps by guessing that one line would form a certain shape, but still an excellent experience start to finish.

You won _on a tiebreaker_! No, I'm not salty... :)
But seriously, product bands is an idea with potential, and this is a nice execution of it. Highly recommended.
Haha, but it was unfair mor my one solution to go against your three! ;) -Elytron
