Rules:
Normal sudoku rules apply.
Along an olive green line, there is exactly one cell (to be found) whose digit is greater than the sum of any other two cells on the line.
If a black dot sits between two digits, one is double the other.
Solution code: Column 9 reading downwards

Thank you very much for creating and sharing this beautiful puzzle. So you gave the Professor’s line the ultimate color.

After the cheese puzzle I was thinking about how to expand the idea and I guess this is it :) excited to try it tonight
Marty: there's been quite a few puzzles with this ruleset already; it was invented by Dorlir. If you search for 'greatest' you will find more puzzles that use this line type, which Dorlir called the 'Greatest Line'

I'm very prone to breaking puzzles with this rule set, but I got there eventually. Some very cool interactions in there.

Great puzzle. Took a while to get my head around the constraint, but once it clicked, the puzzle had a flow.

Great break-in and a smooth solve from there on

That went very smoothly, the break in took me a little bit and afterwards it was a very nice, constant flow of entering digits. Thanks :)

Some really nice and new interactions here which I really like. Hope to see more puzzles with greater line and this puzzle is an example of that.
