Target Practice (Psycho Look-and-Say, XV)
(Published on 30. April 2024, 23:46 by The Book Wyrm)
This puzze was originally created in 90 minutes during a Speed Setting competition.
Rules:
- Normal sudoku rules apply: place the digits 1-9 once each in every row, column and region.
- Psycho Look-and-Say Killers: Digits in pink cages may not repeat. Each digit in a cage indexes a cell in the grid. The cell is located in the box with the digit's number, in the same position within the box as the cell containing the digit. A digit may index its own cell. The cage clue should be read as a look-and-say clue that counts the number of times a digit appears in all the indexed cells.
- XV pairs: Cells separated by an X sum to 10. Cells separated by a V sum to 5. (Not all XV pairs are given.)
