Rules:
Normal sudoku rules apply. These lavender zipper lines are completely broken. On a broken zipper, no pairs of digits that are the same distance from the central spot have the same sum, and none of these sums equal the digit on the central spot. Digits separated by a white dot are consecutive. Digits separated by a black dot are in a 1:2 ratio. The grey perimeter can be used for making notes.
