Big versus Small
(Published on 15. October 2021, 16:15 by BellBear)
-> Normal sudoku rules apply.
-> Digits do not repeat within cages
-> Within cages the smaller numbers sum to the same total as the bigger numbers (e.g. a 6 cell cage could contain the numbers 2, 4, 5, 6, 8 and 9 since 2+4+5+6 = 8+9)
-> numbers outside the grid give the alternating sum in the respective row/comlumn (e.g. if a row contains 781934562 - in that order - its alternating sum is 7-8+1-9+3-4+5-6+2 = -9)

Thanks for the work you put into this puzzle. It was tough but I love the logic and eventually worked it out. A bit sad that more people haven't had a go at it.

Hi peterkp,
Thanks for the solve and the comment. I already gave up hope that it would get more than one solve ;)

Interesting idea. A pity that the online link is broken.

thx! To the online link: if you copy the url it should work.

I did not change anything. I just wanted to double check my solution since I got a hint that the puzzle might not be solvable. Sorry!

Something still seems to be off with the html code of the link. If anybody sees what went wrong, please let me know.
