A Most Extraordinary Sudoku Idea

Описание: ** TODAY'S PUZZLE **
It's MathGuy_12's birthday - happy birthday Nathan! We tackle one of his older puzzles: Double Dippin' Dots, which has a simple ruleset but a quite remarkable idea at its core. Not to be missed!

Play the puzzle at the links below:

Rules:
Normal sudoku rules apply. Cells with the same colour circle contain the same digit. Cells touched by a “Sum Dot” add to the indicated value. Digits may repeat within a dot if allowed by other rules.
