Today's Puzzle:

Is the 5th puzzle away from Christmas day with 5 Golden Rings to a shimmering variant of the 12 Days of Christmas song.

P.S., another hard puzzle mid-week once again, but on the plus side, there is a new variant to think through 😉

Rules:

Normal Sudoku rules apply.

ANTI KING-The same number cannot be a chess king's move apart.

CELL RANKING- A cell's rank is equal to the number of golden lines that go to the center of the cell (Example: Row 5 Column 5 has 6 lines that go to its center, and is rank 6). WITHIN EACH OF THE NINE 3x3 BOXES, cells with higher rank will always be a higher number than cells with a lower rank. Cells with no golden lines can be any number.

KROPKI PAIRS- Numbers with a white dot between them are consecutive. Numbers with a black dot between them are in a ratio of 2:1. Not all possible dots are given.

KILLER CAGES- Numbers in cages sum to the number in the top left corner of the cage.
