- 1.Normal Sudoku Rules apply
- 2.Killer Sudoku rules almost apply: Shade all duplicates in killer cages, the remaining digits sum to the total given at the leftmost cell of the top row at the killer cage. Shaded cells cannot be orthogonally adjacent, and all unshaded cells(including those not part of any cage) form an orthogonally connected area.
Every Killer cage must have duplicates, and killer cages never overlap.
Solving Link:CTC Enjoy
Solution code: The number of shaded cells in each row starting from row 1,then the 9 digits column 5

Can we please clarify the rules to specify if we are talking about cage totals being in the top cell of the leftmost column or the leftmost cell of the top row?

It seems that the software is working differently in this puzzle than in other fog of war puzzles that I've tried: When I put a digit in a cell, its 3x3 neighborhood becomes visible even if it's the wrong digit. Is that supposed to happen? (I thought that I'd deduced the values of some cells, but the cage shapes that were revealed when I entered the values showed that they couldn't be right. I haven't figured out my mistake yet.)
