Me and my accomplice sujoyku are just constantly up to no good. We have teamed yet again to present a puzzle to you all. Thanks to all the testers, and to gdc for some valuable suggestions.
If you have any questions feel free to DM us on Discord.
Happy solving!
Rules:
- Normal sudoku rules apply. Place the digits 1-9 once in every row, column, and box.
- The value of a cage is the sum of its digits, digits in cages don't repeat.
- Cages joined by a white diamond have consecutive values.
Cages joined by a black diamond have values in a 1:2 ratio.
- Not all diamonds are necessarily given.
Solution code: Column 8

Absolutely brilliant puzzle! So smooth, that it feels like 2*, although I agree with the initial declaration of difficulty. Thank you both:)
