Stolen Numerals
(Published on 21. January 2024, 15:15 by NurglesGift)
Normal sudoku rules apply.
Any two 5's cannot be separated by a king's or Knight's move (in chess).
Cells connected by an Black dot must be in a 1:2 ratio.
Cells connected by an X must sum to 10
Cells connected by an V must sum to 5
The green dots are either X or V
All black dots, X's and V's are given
Solution code: give the digits of column 5 and 6 (top to bottom)

Nice! One of the few Stolen Numerals puzzles that I was able to do without lettering or coloring! (Also I totally forgot about the "5s can't be a knight's move or king's move apart from each other" constraint for part of the solve, so I'm glad I eventually finally re-read that part of the rules :)
Also, for those who like having the victory message at the end, here's a version of the link but with solution checking available (thanks to BremSter Puzzles):

changed links, there was green dots under the black dots and for me, I don't see knights/kings move conflict, but you may have to put conflict checker to off

FYI, when transfered over to ctc it ends up bad. it checks all digits for knights and kings, not just 5s, also the black dots arent black.

Sehr schön. "king's move" habe ich nicht benutzt.
