Killer Ambiguity
(Published on 8. February 2022, 00:34 by abed hawila)
After solving the two wonderful puzzles, Square killer and Equal Sudoku II , constructed by Realshaggy , I decided to try and combine both rules in one Ambiguity killer puzzle, and here is what I came up with.
Rules:
Normal Sudoku rules apply.
In each killer cage, at least one of the following conditions must apply:
- the sum of the digits is a square number (i.e. 1,4,9,16,25,36).
- the sum of the even digits equals the sum of the odd digits .
Digits may not repeat inside cages.
good luck and enjoy!

I'm still astonished this puzzle could be uniquely solved by a human being. Total madness, but brilliant from start to finish.

What a beautiful puzzle. I only ended up down the wrong rabbit hole about 3-4 times. Really elegant all the way throughout.

It was pretty easy to find the first two digits but the actual break-in afterwards was clever.
