Boomerang

  • Killer cages
  • Kropki dots
  • Thermometers

The brief

Normal sudoku rules apply. Place the digits 1-9 once each in every row, column and 3x3 box. Digits in a dotted cage sum to the total given in the top left corner of the cage without repeat. Digits on a grey bulbed line must rise from the bulb end. Digits on a green line must differ by at least 5. Digits on a normal gray line read the same forwards as backwards. Cells separated by a white dot are consecutive. Cells separated by a black dot has one digit double or half the other (1:2 ratio). Not all dots are necessarily given. Clues outside the grid sum the digits in the given direction without branching, digits may repeat (if other rules allow).
