Logic Masters Deutschland e.V.

• Normal Sudoku rules apply.
• Disjoint groups rules apply: Digits in the same position within a 3x3 box cannot repeat.
• Standard killer cages: In cages, digits must sum to the small clue in the top left corner of the cage.
• Diagonal Variant: Digits cannot repeat on the marked diagonal.
• 3+ whisper lines/cages: Neighboring digits along any line (including the marked diagonal) or in a cage must have a difference of 3 or greater.

As a fan of "Cracking the Cryptic", I created this puzzle because I was inspired by Simon's meme of "That's 3 in the corner, that's 3 in the spotlight, losing it's religion." Which is a reference to the R.E.M. song "Losing My Religion". As such there are the following Easter eggs...

• There is a single given digit of 3 in the corner ("That's 3 in the corner")
• There is a 3 made of lines in a yellow highlighted "spotlight". ("That's 3 in the spotlight")
• The box totals of 18, 5, and 13 spell out R E M, as R is the 18th letter, E is the 5th letter, and M is the 13th letter.
