Rules:
- Normal sudoku rules apply.

All constraints are given as standard:
- Region Sum Lines: Along blue lines, box borders divide the line into segments that all sum to the same total. This total is not necessarily the same for different lines.
- Renban Lines: Digits along purple lines form a non-repeating consecutive set of digits, in any order.
- German Whispers Lines: Adjacent digits along green lines must differ by at least 5.
- Ratio kropki: Digits separated by black dots are in a 1:2 ratio.
- Consecutive kropki: Digits separated by white dots are consecutive.
- No negative constraint on dots.

Fiendish. Also, for me, required some bifurcation to distinguish the totals of the large region sum lines.

Very nice but very difficult to solve the two longest region sum lines - 64 minutes, ouch!

I guess that one is not 2*? Or is everybody missing something obvious?
