Rules:
Normal sudoku rules apply. Each of the following standard clue types occurs exactly three times in the grid: white dots, black dots, arrow, sandwich, Xs, Vs, thermos, quadruples, odds (grey circles), evens (grey squares), renban (purple) and German whispers (green). For each of those clue types, exactly two of the appearances of that clue are correct and the other is incorrect. [A clue is incorrect if it is not fully correct. Eg an incorrect quadruple might see one of the digits but not all of them.]

The "standard" clue types mentioned above are as follows:
White dots: Cells separated by a white dot must contain consecutive digits.
Black dots: Cells separated by a black dot must be in the ratio of 1:2 (so one digit must be double the other).
Arrow: Digits on an arrow must sum to the digit in that arrow's circle.
Sandwich: Clues outside the grid give the sum of the digits sandwiched between the 1 and 9 in that row/column.
Xs: Cells separated by an X must contain digits summing to 10.
Vs: Cells separated by a V must contain digits summing to 5.
Thermos: Along a thermometer, digits must increase from the bulb end.
Quadruples: Digits in the small circles in the grid must appear at least once in every cell touched by the circle.
Odds: Cells containing a grey circle must contain an odd digit.
Evens: Cells containing a grey square must contain an even digit.
Renban: Each purple line must contain a set of non-repeating consecutive digits (which can be in any order).
German Whispers: Adjacent digits on a green line must differ by at least 5.
