Cage Match
(Published on 9. May 2024, 23:33 by juddimal)
- Normal Sudoku rules apply.
- Divide the grid into ten orthogonally-connected cages. Each cage is 7 or 8 non-repeating digits and may not include any grey squares. Each cage must contain two adjacent cells read as a two-digit number (reading left to right) which is equal to the cage total. Each cage total is unique.
- Circles count the number of cages in adjacent squares.
- Numbers outside the grid are the sum of all cage totals that have a digit along the indicated diagonal.
Sample
Solution code: Column 1 (9 digits)

Looks at first glance much easier than it really is. I enjoyed the ride from the low hanging fruits to the real difficulties. THANKS.

Thanks Rafje. My last puzzle I listed as a 5 and it got lowered, so I thought I would start this as 4 difficulty.

Beautiful logic, and not easy.
