Killer Pseudoku
(Published on 6. December 2024, 20:17 by starwarigami)
Normal Sudoku rules (mostly) apply.
Fill the grid with the digits 1-9 (and 0) so that (almost) no digit repeats in any row, column, box or cage.
(Each unique digit may appear twice in exactly one row, column, box OR cage. No row, column, box or cage may contain more than one repeated digit. No digit may repeat in column 7)
Digits in a cage sum to the given total

Dude, get that 4/5 difficulty the hell out of here haha. Definitely 5/5.
Very nice puzzle, with a very nice logical flow. The answers may be obvious, but only once you figure out which question you need to be asking.

This puzzle is ferocious but incredibly clever and satisfying. This was tricky the whole way through, balancing the repeats... nice work. While I think this airs towards 5*, that may simply reflect the adjustment period to the implications of the new ruleset. Really brilliant puzzle!
@askaksaksask Thanks for braving the challenge! I wasn't expecting this to be as hard as you found it to be, so maybe I've made an unearned logical leap in my intended solve path. I've added a link to the walkthrough for this puzzle in a hidden comment. I'd be grateful if you took a look and let me know whether it's in line with how you came to the solution.
Thanks for playing!
