Normal Sudoku rules apply. Place the digits 1-9 in each row, column and box without repetition.
Non-Consecutive: Digits in orthogonally adjacent cells may not be consecutive.
Ratio: Digits separated by a black dot must be in a 2:1 ratio. All black dots are given.

Very fun. Love the mod3 easter egg in box 9 :)

If you look closely at the finished puzzle that is not the only easter egg...
I trust you and your family are doing good.

After 50 minutes trying this puzzle I have literally nothing to show for it. Neither bifurcation nor coloring has gotten me anywhere. I only have the intuition that the break is somewhere in column 7

I suspect the key you are struggling with is the non-consecutive rule and the restriction it has on the kropki dots. Hope that hint helps!

Terrific puzzle, thanks. I love negative constraints, they generally keep the puzzle interesting until the end, instead of devolving into classic Sudoku.
