Theme: Pi
Author/Opus: This is the 183rd puzzle from our contributing puzzlemaster Serkan Yürekli.
Rules: Standard Kakuro rules. Also, a white circle between two cells shows that the digits in those cells are consecutive (i.e., they differ by 1). A black circle shows that the digit in one of the cells has twice the value of the other. If there is no circle between adjacent cells, neither of these properties holds. (Note: between 1 and 2, either a white or a black circle can be given.)
Answer String: Enter the values in each cell in the 4th row from left to right and then in the 8th row from left to right, separating the two entries with a comma. Ignore black cells.
Time Standards (highlight to view): Grandmaster = 5:15, Master = 6:30, Expert = 13:00

I liked how the Kropki circles created some unique deductions for a Kakuro, specifically gur iregvpnyyl neenatrq juvgr pvepyrf naq gurve vzcyvpngvbaf jvgu gur pbyhzaf. Neat puzzle!
Thanks.
It was really fun to design such a Kakuro puzzle with Pi theme.
