No less than Phistomefel has been wowed by this extraordinary puzzle by apiyo. It's called Phoenix Knights and you may well wonder how this sudoku can have a unique solution!! Give it a try at the following link:

https://app.crackingthecryptic.com/sudoku/bGh8gpgMMd

Rules:
Normal sudoku rules apply. Cells separated by a knight's move (in chess) cannot contain the same digit. Neighbouring digits on a red line have a difference of at least 5. Cells separated by a black dot contain digits in a ratio of 1:2. Cells separated by a white dot must contain consecutive digits. Not all possible dots are shown.

Sam Cappleman-Lynes has made an extremely clever 6x6x6 set of puzzles. We have released a solution video for this puzzle on Patreon and you can try to solve it yourself at these links (one to our software, one to penpa (which allows you to increase the size of the grids):
