...Stay On Target!
(Published on 21. February 2023, 15:00 by ViKingPrime)
PUZZLE:
RULES:
Normal Sudoku rules apply.
•
Diagonal: Digits along each diagonal must not repeat.
•
Killer: The
value of digits within a Killer cage must sum to the number given in the top-left corner. Digits
must not repeat within a Killer cage.
•
Look-and-Say: The number given in the top-left corner of a Look-and-Say cage indicates the number and type of digits within that cage (
e.g. if a Look-and-Say cage reads as "12" then there is one 2-digit within that cage; a "32" would indicate three 2-digits within that cage). Digits
may repeat if allowed by other rules.
MODIFIERS:
•
Cage Ambiguity: The nature of each cage must be determined by the solver (
if relevant).
•
Mobius: Each separate instance of the digit 1 may be considered as having the value of either 1
or 10 (
but not both).
INTRODUCTION:
This is a more challenging puzzle than the previous entry entitled
"Stay On Target". Please don't let that discourage you, as once you've uncovered the break-in the puzzle is much less intimidating.
An example puzzle will follow to better illustrate the rules.

I like the ambiguous cages. I would like to see more ambiguous clues like this in other puzzles.
