- Digits may not repeat in a cage
- Digits in a cage sum to a 2-digit number xy, which may be different for each cage.
- The digit at row x column y must equal n, where n is the size of the cage.
- e.g. if a 5-cage sums to 28 that means that R2C8 is a 5

Lovley puzzle with an exciting deduction path. Not too hard, but a lot of fun. :D

I liked this a lot -- the deductions of the killer cages and the locator rules work well together -- I'll have to try some of the others in the series now!

I don‘t understand the last sentence of the rule set.
EDIT: Added example to rules

Fantastic puzzle! Very hard break-in, at least in a psychological sense. Some astonishing logics, especially box 6. Thx for sharing:)

Excellent puzzle! Great idea and great execution. Including the break-in, there were a few aha moments throughout the solution path. I loved this puzzle. It is not very easy but not extremely hard either. It is highly recommended!
