Prohibitive, by James Sinclair
Normal sudoku rules apply.
The sum of the digits inside each cage is equal to the small number in the top left corner, and digits cannot repeat within a cage.
Box borders divide each blue line into segments with the same sum.
Clues outside the grid give the parity of the sum of the digits along the indicated diagonal.
