(Published on 10. June 2023, 14:47 by rockratzero)
Sum Battle X Ships
Normal sudoku rules apply.
Battleships. The shaded 7×7 grid is an embedded battleship pencil puzzle. Shade some cells to represent battleships in this area. Battleships cannot touch other battleships, even diagonally. Battleship clues indicate how many ship pieces are found in the row/column. The clues for rows and columns are shown by cells outside the 7×7 with the small arrows. If a row or column has an "X", then the battleship clue is "0" for the row or column. The fleet comprises three 1-cell ships, two 2-cell ships, one 3-cell ship, and one 4-cell ship.
X-Sums. Clues outside the grid give the sum of the first X digits in their respective row or column, where X is the digit nearest the clue.
X. Cells connected by an X sum to 10.
Killer Cages. Digits in cages sum to the given value in the top left of the cage. HOWEVER, digits found on a shaded battleship cell DO NOT add to the total. Digits in a cage do not repeat, regardless of their shading status.
