Confetti Sums Killer Sudoku
(Published on 24. February 2021, 15:10 by Jesper)
1) Normal Sudoku rules apply
2) Digits in cages may not repeat, and they sum to the small number in the top left corner of the cage (if given).
3) In all cases where two orthogonally adjacent digits sum to A or B, a dot is shown between them:
- White dot: Sum is always A
- Black dot: Sum is always B
- Grey dot: Sum is A or B
4) A and B are different, and finding their values is part of the puzzle.

Lovely puzzle! I particularly enjoyed it after my obligatory 30 minutes of forgetting about the negative constraint, haha!

Fiendishly clever. I would not be surprised if one or two bits of logic passed me by, but happy to get to the end of this one, thanks.

In case anyone is struggling to find the break-in, I don't mind providing a small hint - just post a hidden comment with the request.
