Standard Star Killer Sudoku rules apply (see below).
Additional constraints on placement of stars:
-
The value of each star can be determined by it's relative position inside their respective box, read from top-left to bottom right. The picture below shows the exact value each star must have depending on it's position.
Additional constraints on values:
-
Difference: Digits in cells separated by a white dot must differ by the given digit inside that dot.
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 sum to the total X. The number in the top-left corner of a cage must be equal to the digit sum of X.
