Killer Arrow Sudoku - 3, 2, 1, Magic!
(Published on 2. December 2020, 15:47 by DiMono)
This is my attempt to construct a sudoku with a magic square where a) it's not boring, and b) it is necessary for the solve. This puzzle is not meant to be overly difficult, but there's some interesting logic that while not strictly necessary, will lead to a slightly faster solve if found.
Standard Sudoku rules apply.
Standard killer sudoku rules apply: Cells in a cage sum to the number in the corner without repeating a digit.
Standard arrow sudoku rules apply: Cells along an arrow sum to the number in the connected circle.
Also, hidden in the grid are a "321" countdown in consecutive cells (in a straight line), and a magic square, which must both be found by the solver.
Solution code: Row 2, Row 8
