We've reached a little milestone with my 20th puzzle on LMD. I've been enjoying setting and sharing these sudokus with you these past months, and I've enjoyed hearing your thoughts on them. Thank you all! :-)
Now on to the puzzle: This sudoku offers more of a challenge than most of my puzzles. However, I believe there is some beautiful logic to discover, and I hope you will feel the same about it. Enjoy!!
Rules:
Normal sudoku rules apply.
Kropki dots: Cells separated by a black dot contain digits with a ratio of 1:2. Cells separated by a white dot contain consecutive digits. Not all possible dots are necessarily given.
Inequality signs: Point towards the lowest digit of the two cells.
The puzzle:
Lösungscode: Row 2 Column 6 (18 digits)

Thanks for this. It's a beautiful puzzle and quite hard indeed. Took me a few tries because I made mistakes before but so glad I stuck with it
