Pieces of the Puzzle

(Published on 22. February 2022, 01:39 by grkles)

Normal sudoku rules apply. Numbers in cages cannot repeat, and must sum to the total in the top left corner of the cage (if given). The inequality sign points to the smaller number.

This puzzles uses the digits 1-9 as normal; however, some of those digits are negative for the purpose of calculating cage totals and inequalities. (Any negative digits will be negative in every cage and on every inequality in which they appear.)

This was beautiful! The initial math took me quite a while to figure out (I'm not sure if you're supposed to deduce the sets of positive and negative numbers before you start, but I did) but everything after flowed really nicely and the puzzle as a whole fit together beautifully.
