Poisoned Little Killer
(Published on 24. September 2020, 04:50 by SenatorGronk)
- Standard sudoku rules apply
- Anti-king constraint: identical digits can't be a chess king's move apart.
- Each row, column and box has exactly one poisoned digit. All poisoned digits are different and also have an anti-king constraint with respect to each other.
- Little killer sums may include repeated digits, but poisoned digits are not counted in those sums.

I thought I'd finished it. However, when filling in the solution code it wouldn't accept it. It turns out that I have 53 for the LK instead of 55, everything else checks out though! Ugh
Edit: The 55 was to disambiguate the last two digits and it sounds like you reversed them.

Fantastic puzzle again, I really enjoyed the distinct stages of the solution process.

What does a "5" little killer clue mean?
EDIT: The sum of the _non-poisoned_ digits in the diagonal is 5. So yeah, looks like that diagonal might have some poisoned digits :-)

Great puzzle! Very creative setting and well balanced in terms of the difficulty of the different phases.
