(Published on 15. August 2022, 20:45 by Gliperal)
Normal Sudoku rules apply. Arrows outside the grid indicate little killer clues, which give the sum of the digits along the indicated diagonal. The sum of all the little killer clues is 178.
Solution code: Row 2, Row 8

Great original idea, but once you see it completing the puzzle is not that interesting. Thanks for sharing.

I've never felt so stupid about a supposedly two star sudoku before. The break-in is completely opaque.

Fun fact: if you solve this puzzle with the clues summing to 402, you get the same solution path, except every number X would be replaced by 10-X. So 1's swap place with 9's, 4's with 6's, etc, and 5's remain in the same place.

Solving this was very difficult for me, but I am pleased I solved a Gliperal puzzle :) in only 04:25:29.

Solving this was like eating an extremely delicate and well crafted piece of confectionary. It melted on my tongue in such a delicious fashion!

Was this discovered or created? I believe the answer is yes

What's funny about it all, is that it looks so hard, that the given difficulty gives the clue that the only thing you can think of doing will somehow resolve everything, so you can be amazed before even starting the puzzle.

Immensely satisfying

This puzzle is a great example, that less information can make a puzzle easier. Excellent construction!

Very nice puzzle. Easy once you realize the trick - impossible without it!

Can't wait to see Simons reaction of this beautiful puzzle! :-)

Not being the greatest solver in the world (far from it) but having done a bunch of 1/2* puzzles, I've seen very few this good - well-telegraphed, yet super satisfying when it all falls into place. Glorious :) and like everyone else I have no idea how you did it xD

excuse me lol what

If someone gave me this kind of grid, and I only had ONE clue to deduce it, I'd ask them back "are you feeling too unusual today or something?", like what even is this, AND how did you manage to get this.
This puzzle left me confused, annoyed, excited, flabbergasted, confused again, discombobulated, entertained and laughing out loud at the end.

Brilliant!
