What?-tenburg
(Published on 4. March 2024, 22:38 by sujoyku)
- Normal Sudoku rules apply.
- Killer cages: Digits in a cage sum to the clue in the top left.
- Ambiguous Battenburg: Mark each cell of the grid with one of two different colours (e.g. red and blue) such that each digit always appears in cells of the same colour. (For example, if a 1 is in a red cell, all 1s in the grid have to be in red cells.) In any killer cage, all cells have the same colour (i.e. any cage is entirely red or entirely blue, but does not consist of both red and blue cells). Whenever 2 digits of both colours each form a 2x2 checkerboard pattern, a Battenburg marking is given. If there is no such marking, the above pattern is not allowed.
Here you can solve the puzzle online:
Solution code: Row 8 from left to right (9 digits in total)

changed image and solving link since there was a meaningless small number at the edge of the grid due to a typo in Penpa, no changes to the contents of the puzzle
