Binary Quantum Void
Rules:
- Normal Sudoku rules do not apply. Place the digits 0-9 in the grid such that each row, column, and box contain these digits exactly once.
- Killer Cages: Digits in cages must not repeat and must sum to the value in the top left if given.
- S-cells: Nine cells in the grid (one per row, column, and box) are S-cells, which contain two digits. Both digits in an S-cell count toward the sum total for the purposes of cages. 0 is not in any S-cells. All other digits must appear exactly twice in S-cells. Two different S-cells cannot contain the same two digits.
- Doublers: Nine cells in the grid (one per row, column, and box) are doublers, which count as double their value in cages. 0 is not in any doubler cells. All other digits must appear in exactly one doubler.
- Negators: Nine cells in the grid (one per row, column, and box) are negators, which count as negative their value in cages. 0 is not in any negator cells. All other digits must appear in exactly one negator.
- The sets of doublers, negators, and S-cells are all mutually exclusive, i.e., no doubler cell may be a negator cell nor an S-cell, etc.

Very very difficult mid-solve. Incredible ruleset!

Great puzzle! Harder towards the end, but still a very nice and fair logical path.

That was a hard nut.

Oh man. The last two boxes/cages were brutal. Very nice flow until then.

This was such a fascinating puzzle! Very elegant and a lot less convoluted than its ruleset would suggest. The trickiest part is keeping track of the fact s-cells and negators don't repeat :)
