- Normal 6x6 sudoku rules apply
- Digits within a cage must sum to the same total either side of the 'pivot' i.e. the grey diamond
Solution code: Row 4 and Row 6

Thank You
Of course that makes complete sense :)
I was mistakenly trying to consider the CAGE TOTAL as the equation....DOH

@Noggin: considering X as pivot, such examples we can do with this rule set can be: 43X25 (since 4+3=2+5); 5X23 (since 5=2+3); 621X45 (since 6+2+1=4+5)...
Of course, digits can’t repeat in a cage.

Forgive my ignorance, but could someone give an example of how the cages work please? I'm just not getting it!!

Very interesting, hope to see bigger size of this rule set :)

Very nice rule set. I would like to see a 9x9 version with this rule set.
REPLY: Many thanks! Yes, I'd like to get a full 9x9 done sometime. Think this is a nice little intro :) - ndsurgenor
REPLY FROM KOLOT: I just constructed one. Here it is: https://f-puzzles.com/?id=ykxo982j
The rule set seems to be very fruitful. You can construct several puzzles with varying diffculty level using this rule set. The one I constructed is a relatively easy one. Should I publish it? (Edit: I just solved it again. It is not that easy actually. 3 or 4 stars difficulty would be fair.)
REPLY: Yes, I'm trying it at the moment and it's probably a 3.5. You should certainly publish it if it has a unique solution - nds
REPLY: Ok, thanks. I published it now.
