Rules:

Sudoku: Place the digits 1-9 into each row, column and outlined box without repeats.

Killer: Digits inside an outlined cage cannot repeat and sum to the value given at the top left corner of the cage.

Ambiguous Kropki / XV dots: The grid is cluttered with 4 differently coloured dots. The 4 colours represent the 4 constraints of White Kropki, Black Kropki, V and X clues. Which colour represents which constraint must be deduced by the solver.

Detailed explanations: - White Kropki: Digits along a white kropki dot have to be consecutive. - Black Kropki: Digits along a black kropki dot have to be in a 1:2 ratio. - V: Digits along a V sum to 5. - X: Digits along an X sum to 10.
