I love when a puzzle teaches me things, and this helped me unlock some knowledge about both skyscrapers and indexing that hadn't occurred to me before. Hope you all like it!

Rules:
- Normal Sudoku rules apply.
- Row Indexers - digits in blue indexing squares give the position of their row number in the associated column. EX if R5C2 is 2, then 5 goes in R2C2.
- Column Indexers - digits in red indexing squares give the position of their column number in the associated row. EX if R6C5 is 7, then 5 goes in R6C7.
- R1C1, R1C9, R5C5, R9C1 and R9C9 are both column and row indexers.
- Skyscrapers - Clues outside the grid indicate the number of digits visible in that direction, where higher digits block the view of lower ones.
- Odd Digits - a digit on a gray circle must be odd.
- X pairs - digits separated by X sum to 10. No negative constraint.
- German Whispers - neighboring digits on a green German Whisper line must differ in value by at least 5.

This was a challenging puzzle and required some heavy scanning if I didn't miss something more obvious (I don't think I did?). It took me a while to spot the break in due to some discombobulation from the unusual c1/9 row indexers.
This was the last puzzle remaining for me to solve your entire catalogue (until you post more. pls dont /j). Thank you for all of your puzzles <3

Shouldn't row 5 and column 5 have their colors reversed?
