Another Equality cage puzzle, this time with Lockout lines! The previous and next puzzle in the series:
Equality Cages 134: Equality candy
Equality Cages 136: Equally different
All my series:
Equality Cages
EquaLite Cages
Shifter Lines
Shifter Dots
Rules:
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.
Equality cages: Cages must have an equal number of low (1,2,3,4) and high (6,7,8,9) digits AND an equal number of even (2,4,6,8) and odd (1,3,7,9) digits. Equality cages can never contain 5. Digits may not repeat in a cage.
Lockout lines: Digits in the diamonds at the ends of a lockout line must differ by at least 4. Digits on a line must fall outside the range defined by their attached diamonds. Digits may repeat on the lines.
Kropki dots: A black dot between cells indicates cell values with a 2:1 ratio. Not all dots are shown.
