PUZZLE


RULES

Sudoku: Normal Sudoku rules apply; place the digits 1-9 once in every row, column, and 3x3 box.

Liar Clues: Exactly half of each clue type is lying and lying clues of either type do not touch orthogonally, but may touch diagonally. A clue is considered a liar if it cannot be a valid Killer Cage or a valid Skyscraper. Lying clues must be valid Rellik Cages or valid Numbered Rooms.

Killer Cages: Digits in a cage do not repeat and sum to the value indicated in the upper leftmost corner.

Rellik Cages: Digits in a cage do not repeat and any combination cannot sum to the value indicated in the upper leftmost corner.

Skyscrapers: Each digit in the grid represents a skyscraper of the corresponding height. Clues outside the grid indicate how many buildings can be seen from that direction, where higher buildings block the visibility of lower buildings.

Numbered Rooms: Clues outside the grid indicate the digit which has to be placed in the Nth cell in the corresponding direction, where N is the first digit seen in that direction.

NOTES
Expected Difficulty: 2.5 stars

This was set for Scojo's Setting Saturday Prompt, this week chosen by the wheel: Killer, Skyscraper, and Liar clues.
