Building The Unknown 2

(Published on 29. April 2022, 16:49 by Joseph nehme)

Back to setting "Build your own killer" Sudokus.
This one is the sixth in this series after “When X sums meet Killer”, “Ultimate Mashup”, “Building the Unknown”, "Whisper of the killer snake" and "BYOK Renban Edition" which were all featured on CTC.

The funny thing about this one is I set it thinking it's a new type of rules only to realize after finishing setting it that is has the same rules as "Building the Unknown" hence the sequel in the title.

Rules:

- Normal Sudoku rules apply.

- Normal Killer Sudoku rules apply: The digits inside a cage sum to the total indicated on the top left corner of the cage. Digits cannot repeat inside cages. The cages all have the same total which should be deduced by the solver.

- The killer cages themselves must be deduced and drawn by the solver. The cage can have any shape. The squares in the grid show where the total of the cages are. Note: The killer cage total must always be at the upper left corner. (Topmost prioritized over leftmost)

- Cages may not Overlap.

- Clues outside the grid show the sum of all the digits that are inside killer cages in that row or column.

Beautiful puzzle! Fascinating how many possible cage shapes vanish by (sometimes pretty hard) deductions. Thanks for sharing:)

@Elliott810 Thank you. Glad you liked it:)
