Here's where you can play Rivets by XeonRisq: https://app.crackingthecryptic.com/sudoku/g8nbdG8674
Normal sudoku rules apply. A digit X in a cage points to a second digit Y located X cells away in its row or column. The number in the top left corner of the cage gives the sum of X+Y. Numbers that appear in the cells with a white dot between must be consecutive. Numbers that appear in the cells with a black dot between must have a ratio of 2:1.
