Sherlock's advice to the good Dr. Watson
(Eingestellt am 4. Juni 2023, 15:36 Uhr von HalfBakedLunatic)
As Sherlock said to Watson: Eliminate the impossible and whatever remains - however improbable - must be the truth.
(The trick, of course, is finding out what's impossible.)
The Rules:
• Normal Sudoku Rules Apply
• Digits along palindrome lines read the same forwards or backwards
• The digits in a cage must sum to the number in its corner, digits may not repeat within a cage
• Orthogonally adjacent cells do not sum to either 5 or 10 (XV negative constraint)
