The New Rules of Double Dates!
Here's where you can try a puzzle faeturing "Normal 25th of April rules": Double Date by Malrog & Tallcat: https://app.crackingthecryptic.com/f0sif99oqy
Normal sudoku rules apply. Two 2s, four 4s and five 5s are considered to have double their value, for the purposes of the following clues. Digits must not repeat in cages, and the total sum of all values in the cage is given by the small number. Digits along a purple line must form a set of consecutive non-repeating values. Values along an arrow sum to the value in the attached circle.
