XY-Cages IV
(Published on 18. January 2026, 07:55 by glum_hippo)
Standard Sudoku rules are in effect. That is, no repeats in row, column, nor 3x3 box. Killer cages may not contain repeat digits.
A white diamond between two cages means that the difference between their cage totals is equal to the topmost/leftmost digit in the column/row in which that diamond appears.
A black diamond between two cages means that the ratio between their cage totals is equal to the topmost/leftmost digit in the column/row in which that diamond appears.

Fun one, not as daunting as it might first appear. Tough ending with the X cage
