Normal sudoku rules apply.
Normal killer cage rules apply. However, the cages, and their totals, are missing. Therefore, you must draw some killer cages into the grid. You have the following information about the cages to help.
Each side of every dot belongs to a cage, and the two sides of each dot belong to different cages. Each killer cage is a set of one or more orthogonally connected cells. Every killer cage touches at least one dot. Killer cages do not overlap and do not contain repeated digits.
A white dot between two cages indicates that their totals are consecutive. A black dot between two cages indicates that their totals have a ratio of 2:1.
All possible dots are given. For example, if an edge has a cage on both sides, and those cages have consecutive totals, there will always be a white dot there.
Every killer cage contains its size as a digit. E.g. a cage with three cells contains a 3 in one of those cells.
The shaded cell in r9c5 is not part of any cage.
If you find someone willing to test your very tough Sudoku puzzle on camera for two hours, keep that guy around! That is both brave and generous.
I am fortunate to have married very well!
Great comment! I was thinking along similar lines, but you put it well - brave and generous. Conversely, Zetamath's hints are outstanding - really helpful, without giving away too much, and not the slightest sign of impatience. I would deeply appreciate such a guide when faced with a master puzzle like this. A rather touching video.
Awesome solve. Thanks for sharing.
