[GATHER SNOW] Winter Sudoku Rules apply: Place the digits 0-8 in every row, column, and 3x3 box. [HEAD & BODY] Digits along arrows sum to the digit in the corresponding circle. [EYES] Digits joined by a white dot are consecutive [NOSE] Digits along the orange thermometer increase from the bulb end. [BUTTONS] Digits joined by a black dot are in a ratio of 2:1. [ARMS] Adjacent digits along green lines must have a difference of 5 or greater. [MAKE IT UNIQUE] Digits joined by a blue snowflake form a unique domino—those digits cannot appear next to each other orthogonally anywhere else in the grid.
