Normal Sudoku rules apply.
Cells with grey squares contain even digits.

Cells joined by an X sum to 10. Cells joined by a V sum to 5.
Cells joined by a white dot are consecutive.
Not all Xs, Vs or dots are given.

What am I missing?
Boxes 3 and 5 have 5 digits on the blue line so a minimum of 15. (1, 2, 3, 4, 5).
Column 1 & 9 and row 1 have 3 equal segments that must total to less than 45 so less than 15 each. That does not compute. Help please.
@PatMac - Row 1, Col 1 and Col 9 each have 3 segments covering 8 cells in the said col/row. However each has one segment that has an extra 2 cells on a corner in their box. The extra 2 cells will affect the total in the box with a corner and subsequently it also affects the totals of the other two 3 cell segments allowing the segment total to be potentially 15 or greater up to a two cell total max.
Thanks for the explanation. I now see the light and had a lot of fun with the solve.
No worries. Happy to be of assistance.

Very nice puzzle! Not always easy to please people here with a 1-star puzzle, but a well deserved rating, I think.

Loved this! Possibly more 1 star on the basis I found it quite easy and I'm not a great solver!
