(Eingestellt am 10. November 2023, 23:45 Uhr von gUBBLOR)
My 11th puzzle featuring Equality Cages. The previous and next puzzle in the series:
Equality Cages 110: Between a cage and a hard place
Equality Cages 112: Entropic modularity
All my series:

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.
Kropki dots: A black dot between cells indicates cell values with a 2:1 ratio. Not all dots are shown.
X: Adjacent cells connected with an X must sum to 10. Not all X's are shown.
Search 5: Each arrow points to the closest 5 in that direction, where the digit on the arrow is how many cells away the 5 is. For example, lets say there's an arrow in R1C1 pointing to the right. If R1C1 was a 1, R1C2 would have to be 5. If R1C1 was 8, the 5 would have to be in R1C9. There may be multiple arrows pointing to the same 5, and it's not necessary for every 5 to have an arrow pointing to it.
