Little Killers #2 (Prime Suspects)
(Published on 7. September 2020, 14:10 by RockyRoer)
Oops! I'm really having trouble with these little killer puzzles. Last time I forgot to place the direction each arrow points. This time, I have the arrows, but forgotten the totals! All I remember is that they were the first ten prime numbers: 2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17, 19, 23, 29. Can you help me?
- Normal 8x8 sudoku rules apply with an irregular grid. Each row, column and region contain the digits 1-8
- Clues along the outside are little killer clues which contains the sum of the digits along that diagonal.
- Numbers may repeat along a diagonal
- Each of the totals is a unique prime number from 2-29 which must be deduced
- One number along the bottom goes in both directions

F puzzles link only have 2 arrows at the bottom and some green squares.
Reply: Yes, I'm aware of that. F-puzzles does not have the ability to put arrows in both directions. The green colored squares intended to remind the solver that that particular diagonal goes in both directions. Personally, when i played around with it, i added a second diagonal on the right side of the grid, but i didn't want to do that for the general public because I was afraid someone would think a separate number had to go there. The image was 'photoshopped' to look right.
