Equal Killers
(Published on 17. December 2022, 19:21 by Yawnus)
Rules:
Normal sudoku rules apply. Digits cannot repeat within a cage. The digits in each cage sum to the same total.
The puzzle is pretty hard, but no guessing or bifurcating is needed. In case you feel clueless, here are some hints (highlight white text to read):
Hint 1:
A set of cages, together with its hidden counterpart, will reveal the secret.
Hint 2:If you get stuck later on, go back to hint 1.
Hint 3:To be more specific, find out the exact digit composition of the four cages.
Solution code: Row 2 followed by column 2 (18 digits, no spaces)

Brutally hard, but a nice break-in and fun logic in the middle. I especially enjoyed figuring out the cage containing R3C6. I love puzzles with unknown cage sums. Thanks and keep 'em coming!

@bodemeister, I'm glad you liked the puzzle! Btw, your "A Blind Killer" was also very nice! Actually I made recently a quite similar puzzle which I will publish soon...

@Yawnus, looking forward to it!
