LMI-Leftovers 7b - Maximin Sudoku

Logic Masters India hosts a sudoku contest every month. I had the honor to prepare the puzzles for the coming contest. It will be held from 7 till 9 July 2012. It will be called "Copy - Paste"; A set of 14 sudoku variants, two per page. I copied the givens of one puzzle, and pasted them into another, so that the grids on every page have exactly the same given digits on exactly the same place. But they are two (completely) different variants, requiring a different approach and having different solutions. Almost all variants are published here in the portal earlier by me.

As always the case after making puzzles for a contest, I had a few unused puzzles and I would like to share them here in the portal. At the same time, I can make same extra advertisement for the contest. Participation is free, only a registration at LMI is necessary. You can solve the puzzles whenever you like in the weekend. After downloading the .pdf-file you have two hours time to submit your solutions. You can find the instruction booklet here.

Maximin Sudoku
Apply classic sudoku rules. Digits outside the grid are the difference between the highest and the lowest digit in the first three cells.
