Cutting Corners (by jovi_al & Qodec)
(Eingestellt am 4. September 2021, 10:44 Uhr von Qodec)
That's right, a jovi_al and Qodec collaboration!
- Normal sudoku rules apply: each row, column, and region indicated by thick borders in the grid must contain the digits 1 to 9 once each.
- German whispers: adjacent digits along each line in the grid must have a difference of 5 or more.
- Killer cages: an area surrounded by a dashed line is a 'killer cage'. Digits in a cage cannot repeat and sum to the number in the upper left corner.
- Diagonals: both indicated diagonals in the grid must contain the digits 1 to 9 once each.

That was a delightful puzzle with many beautiful moments. The entry was well telegraphed, but quite surprising nontheless. Thank you so much for creating this gem, Qodec and jovi_al!

I spent a long time on this puzzle and live test solving as the first tester in front of several people was nerveracking. I eventually figured it out and I am so proud that I did. What an incredible puzzle!

Midway through the puzzle, I got stuck for a long time and finally just bifurcated only to break the puzzle in the process on both paths. I unwound it and started over and finally realized an actual way to break through. The puzzle was a joy after that realization. Thanks to both of you for the wonderful puzzle!

This puzzle was such a joy to solve, was a bit careless during mid solve but still I really really enjoyed it :)
