A pack of werewolves known as "The Nine" is milling about town square. There are 9 of them and they each are marked with a 9. Your job is to position your 3 marksmen around the perimeter of the square. Each must take aim along a diagonal across the grid and, each having only 3 silver bullets, must find 3 of the 9s in their line of sight. The sums of the digits along these diagonals will be 36, 36, and 45.
To get each 9 in their scope, they must line up a crossed pair of zipper lines, centered on the 9.
The sun is getting low. Can you direct your "little killers" to their right locations in time?
Translation:
Normal Sudoku rules apply.
Place 3
little killer* clues around the grid with totals 36, 36, and 45. Each of these diagonals must contain three 9s.
Draw a vertical and horizontal
zipper line**, both of length 3, centered on each of the 9s. (The edge of the grid wraps both horizontally and vertically.)
*
Little Killer: A number outside the grid, pointing across the grid, which gives the total of all digits along that diagonal.
**
Zipper Line: Digits the same distance from the center of the line sum to the digit in the center of the line.
