Chaos: Killer
(Published on 11. April 2022, 20:42 by lerroyy)
Rules:
Normal chaos construction rules apply. Digits (1-9) may not repeat in rows column and regions which have to be found by the solver. Killer cages are fully contained in a region (they may not be in 2 different regions). Digits may not repeat in the cages and must sum to the number in the top left corner.
This is my first try at a chaos construction. I hope you'll enjoy it.
Solve on f-puzzles.
Solve on CTC.
Solution code: In the reading direction (from left to right and top to bottom), the content of the irregular area where R1C9 is located, and the content of the irregular area where R7C6 is located, a total of 18 digits.

Lovely puzzle! Quite intricate at times, and always interesting!

Not 100% sure about the middle 'path' but I got through it, and thought it was a pretty cool solve.

At one point I hit a massive brick wall. Took quite some time to get back on track. I'm so happy that I solved this without breaking it. Great puzzle! :)

CTC link doesn't work anymore.
I changed it, it should work now.
It goes to the F-puzzles link, not CTC
Now it's good, I put the f-puzzle link instead of the CTC.

nice construction. thanks.

This took me many hours across several days to finish. Even after figuring out most of the construction it is monstrously hard. I'm happy to have finally solved it and am in a daze, like finally emerging after being lost in the woods.

Change the solution code description to the one from cdwg2000
on 13. April 2022, 12:23 by cdwg2000
Solution code suggest:
In the reading direction (from top to bottom, from left to right), the content of the irregular area where R1C9 is located, and the content of the irregular area where R7C6 is located, a total of 18 grids.
Thanks, it's better than mine.

Great puzzle! The solution code is not so clear. Row major or column major? Using row and/or column will be better.

Changed boxes to regions in solution code description

That was a ton of fun, congratulations on your first CC puzzle!
(As a mini nitpick, the solution code is a bit confusing as it's not super clear if boxes meant the cages or the regions, and if it's read like a book or by columns - I'd reccommend row/column codes as they're less ambiguous!)
Thanks for the puzzle!
Thanks, happy to see you enjoyed it. I changed boxes to regions in the solution code description.
