Top Factor Killer Sudoku
(Eingestellt am 30. Dezember 2021, 17:50 Uhr von RockyRoer)
The Rules:
- Normal killer sudoku rules apply, but cage totals must be deduced. Digits cannot repeat in a killer cage.
- [Top Factor] In each cage, the cell containing the highest factor greater than 1 of the cage's total has been marked with a question mark.
- Ex. A cage containing 349 would have a ? where the 4 is.
- Ex. A cage containing 178 would have a ? where the 8 is.
- Ex. A cage containing 169 would have no question mark, as only factors greater than 1 are marked.
The Puzzle:
F-puzzles link: (shaded cells are top factors)
Helpful Exercises: (scroll over to reveal hints)
- List all six 2-cell killer cages that contain a factor of the cages total greater than one: 2+4, 2+6, 3+6, 2+8, 3+9, 4+8
- Complete the table:
8 Cell Cage Totals: Missing Digit: Top Factor: 44 1 4 ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... 36 9 6
Lösungscode: The uncaged cells on the left side in reading order, followed by the uncaged cells on the right side from top to bottom (10 digits total)

Great puzzle, requiring and rewarding analysis on paper of the possibilities. I enjoy the way this sort of puzzle chips away deductively until a solution emerges.

I had fun, but started out by making it much harder than it was (not that it's easy) - A unique puzzle experience for sure; thanks, RockyR

For future solvers: make sure to check the possibilities for each cage and write some notes carefully, some points might need a good amount of precision for it. :)
