One Off
(Published on 21. July 2023, 10:18 by steelwool)
Normal Sudoku rules apply.
Cages sum to the given value* with no repeated digits.
A black dot links two cells, one twice the other.
Each of the diagonals has all of the digits 1 to 9.
* No they don't. The sum of every cage is wrong, it is one off (eg if the cage says 12 it could actually be 11 or 13).
Solve the puzzle online at F-Puzzles.
The suggested difficulty may be "One Off", it depends if you see the break-in immediately!
Solution code: Enter the digits in Row 4 followed by the digits in Column 8.

Figured out the true values of the cages pretty quickly - mainly because I have seen a lot of CTC videos. But to disambiguate the grid I needed to use quite a long chain after pencilmarking all cells. But I enjoyed this a lot.

I honestly don't understand how this has been rated 4 stars. It seemed pretty easy. I did it in ~1 hour, with a migraine. There are so many 2 star puzzles on this site where I tinker for an hour with pencil marks & colours and give up due to not finding the break.
