Schrödinger's Killer
(Published on 16. December 2021, 05:20 by starwarigami)
To enable this, there is a single Schrödinger cell in each box, containing a superposition of two different digits.
- Every Schrödinger cell contains a unique pair of digits.
- No Schrödinger cell can see another Schrödinger cell by Queen's Move (i.e. any distance horizontally, vertically or diagonally).
- Digits in a cage may not repeat and must sum to the indicated total.
- Schrödinger cells contribute the average of their two digits to the cage total.
Solution code: All Schrödinger Cells (Top to bottom, low digit first) - 18 digits, no spaces

I have to say, after watching Simon's solve, your Schrodinger concept was so much better than the three I have tried out. Really novel idea here.

Great puzzle, really enjoyed!
Although I was expecting rule 1(unique pair) would play a more important role while solving.

A beautiful and hard- but still on the edge of approachable puzzle.
The logic needs a brain reset but becomes quite intuitive after a while. Lovely.

Great idea and a very pleasant solve. Who will take on the Heisenberg indeterminacy principle?

Gorgeous. Headache inducing without that being a bad thing.

What a great puzzle! Just had to throw everything I knew about killer cages out of the window :-). I did use the unique pair rule though, and it was a nice linear solve path for me, although quite hard. Great work!

A very nice puzzle, though I don't think I found the simplest route through it. Locating the Schrodinger cells was straightforward enough, but coming to terms with cage-total logic when there are zeroes included took me quite a bit of extra effort.

This idea is sensational! It feels like facing a genius. After Simon Anthony stated several times, that there are not such things like Schrödinger cells in sudoku, this is a must for CTC. Thx for sharing:)
