Star Killer Part 5: Hull Breach

(Published on 7. January 2024, 20:00 by FischmitFahrrad)

Standard Star Killer Sudoku rules apply (see below).

Additional constraints on placement of stars:
  • Each star is a fortress clue: The digit in a cell with a star has to be either greater or smaller than all of the 4 adjacent digits.
  • The stars in each row, column and box must be a pair of one maximum and one minimum.

Additional constraints on values:
  • Renban: Digits on a purple line form a set of non-repeating consecutive digits in any order.
  • Kropki: For every cell with a black dot, exactly one of the four neighboring cells is in 1:2 ratio to this cell.
  • The grey square is an even number.
Star Killer Rules:
Place exactly two stars into each row, column and box. Stars may not share an edge (no diagonal constraint!). The number in the top-left corner of a cage (if given) gives you the number of stars, that are outside of the cage and share an edge with that cage.
Digits in a cage do not repeat and sum to the total X. The number in the top-left corner of a cage must be equal to the digit sum of X.

Kann ein Stern auch in einem Killer Käfig sein?
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Ja, der Stern zählt dann allerdings nicht zur Anzahl der Sterne, die benachbart zu diesem Käfig sind, dazu.
