Rules: Normal sudoku rules apply. A black diamond between two cages indicates that the sum of one cage is exactly double the sum of the other. Not all possible diamonds are necessarily given. Digits may not repeat within a cage.
Solution code: Column 5 (top to bottom) followed by the smallest positive integer which is not a cage sum in this puzzle

Thank you very much for creating and sharing this lovely puzzle - and the funny solution code.

Absolutely lovely puzzle, very smooth solve and fun and satisfying all the way through! I agree with Snookerfan about it being around 2* for difficulty. I enjoyed the extra little scavenger hunt for the solution code too!

Very nice! These kind of puzzles can be very tricky, but this one was really smooth and I gave it two stars for difficulty. I could add another one for the solution code though. Thank you

I thought I was solving a 2* and felt like I'm constantly missing something. Glad to see it's rated at least 3*.
In any case, this was just so lovely. Break in was really nice and it was easy to get going. Surprisingly the most difficult part was after 70% was already done. Pretty devious part there. Oh, not to mention the solution code. That was just rude. :)

Very enjoyable. I got swindled by the very last puzzle in the solution code... that was cheeky :)

"Hey... what are all these diamonds?"
"These are speed diamonds, they make the solve go faster."
"Ohh yeaaah..."
