This puzzle was my final round puzzle from the New Rules speed setting tournament hosted by Gene on the Sudoku Skunkworks server in summer 2024.
Normal sudoku rules apply. Place the digits 1-9 once each in each row, column, and 3x3 box.
-Dutch Whispers: Adjacent digits on an orange line must vary by at least 4.
-Archery Contest: Cages in rings closer to the bullseye (r5c5) have sums that are closer numerically to the digit in the bullseye than cages in rings further away from the bullseye.
-Kropki Pairs: Digits in cells connected by white dots are consecutive; digits in cells joined by a black dot must be in a 2:1 ratio. Not all dots are necessarily given.
