Rules:

Normal Sudoku rules apply. Place the digits 1 through 9 in each empty cell. Digits must not repeat within the same row, column, or box.

Equality cages: Cages must have an equal number of low (1,2,3,4) and high (6,7,8,9) digits AND an equal number of even (2,4,6,8) and odd (1,3,7,9) digits. Equality cages can never contain 5. Digits may not repeat in a cage.

Kropki dots: A black dot between cells indicates cell values with a 2:1 ratio. A white dot between cells indicates cells with consecutive values. Not all dots are shown.

V: Adjacent cells connected with a V must sum to 5. Not all V's are shown.

Multi-Renban: Digits along each multi-renban line contains one or multiple sets of consecutive digits in any order. Digits may repeat, but all digits on the line must repeat the same number of times. For example 624513, 668778 or 445545 would all be valid options for a 6-cell line.
