PUZZLE NO. 375 : GERMAN WHISPERS - KROPKI PAIRS HYBRID SUDOKU

 It feels proud to share that my daughter has secured 96.4 % marks in her Class X exams (I.C.S.E board). Here is a sudoku especially themed on her achievement.


RULES : Classic Sudoku rules apply. Adjacent digits along each green line have a difference of at least 5. Additionally, if the absolute difference between two digits in neighboring cells equals 1, then they are separated by a white dot. If the digit in a cell is half or double of the digit in a neighboring cell, then they are separated by a black dot. The dot staying between 1 and 2 can have any of these dots. All possible dots are not marked.
