Whose Lie Is It Anyway?
(Published on 24. January 2025, 08:41 by Scojo)
Rules:
- Normal sudoku rules apply: Place the digits 1-9 once each in every row, column, and 3x3 box.
- Some clues in this puzzle are liars! For any value N, either all killer cages with a clue of N are lying, while all skyscrapers with a clue of N are true, OR all killer cages with a clue of N are true, while all skyscrapers with a clue of N are lying.
- Killer Cages: A true killer cage may not contain any repeated digits and must sum to the clue in the top left corner. A lying killer cage may contain repeated digits, or not sum to the clue, or both.
- Skyscrapers: A digit X represents a building of height X. Taller buildings hide shorter buildings. A true skyscraper clue outside of the grid indicates the correct number of buildings that could be seen from that position, looking into the grid. A lying skyscraper clue must not.

Very cute puzzle. I was surprised on multiple occasions which rule turned out to be the lie...or am I lying?!

Really elegant logic and (with lies removed) an incredibly sparse grid.
