Mönch (Killer sudoku)
(Published on 13. December 2023, 21:51 by Qodec)
Eiger gave me an idea for another killer sudoku. So here it is:
- Sudoku: Each row, column, and region indicated by thick borders in the grid must contain the digits 1 to 9 once each.
- Killer cages: An area surrounded by a dashed line is a killer cage. Digits in a cage cannot repeat, and they sum to the number in the upper left corner if given.
You can play this puzzle online using:
- Sudokupad: http://tinyurl.com/3599c9xr
- f-puzzles: https://f-puzzles.com/?id=ytom9uzt
Hope you'll enjoy.
Solution code: Row 5 and column 5. I.e. the 9 digits in row 5 from left to right, followed by the 9 digits in column 5 from top to bottom, for example: 123456789123456789

Phew, that was not an easy climb either but what a trip!
Gorgeous interactions given the cages' geometry along with intricate deductions all over, especially the opening :)

Another Qodec masterpiece! This was a 5 difficulty for me, but I'm so glad I persisted -- everything ties together in such a clever and satisfying way

everyone must try this one. It is clever and full of delights. The endgame is at least as exciting as the start.

That was harder than Eiger for me. But still very enjoyable. Thank you for everything you post. I look forward to your next mountain.
