A puzzle created to celebrate the 500th regular puzzle video posted to my channel.
So many puzzles, so much work; this is the biggest project I have ever worked on in my life, and I am so glad that the community has found so much value and joy in what I have put together.
If you want to work through the back catalogue, you can do so using the following sheet.

📋 Puzzle Rules:
• Normal Sudoku rules apply.
• Digits in black cages must sum to the number in the top left corner of the cage.
• Digits placed on an arrow must sum to the digit placed in that arrow's circle.
• Cells separated by a black dot have a 1:2 ratio. Cells separated by a white dot must be consecutive. Not all dots are necessarily given.
• On the green German Whisper Line adjacent digits must have a difference of at least 5.
• On the orange Dutch Whisper Line adjacent digits must have a difference of at least 4.
• Digits in orange bordered circles must be odd.
• Red cages are psycho killer cages. A digit placed in a psycho killer cage will reference a cell somewhere in the grid. The box number of the referenced cell is the digit placed in the cage, and the position of the referenced cell in that box is the same as the position of the cell providing the reference. The referred digits must sum to the number in the top left corner of the cage. Digits can not repeat within cages, referred digits may repeat.
📋 Note: The letters, the circle and the diamond in box 1 are purely cosmetic and do not provide any constraints to the puzzle.
On a personal note: Thank you Dad for helping me find the tenacity to keep doing this through the hard times. Right now I regret all the time I spent on the channel I could have spent with you, and I would give it all up for an afternoon sitting talking with you; but I know all this work made you proud, and I will keep trying; in the face of all the adversities that seem to come with doing something like this.
I love you Dad. Always.
