Killer Sudoku: The Art of Self-defense
(Published on 22. July 2022, 07:49 by Playmaker6174)
The idea isn't really new, rather it's just me playing with the geometry and the interactions between some cages, but I hope the idea here would inspire someone else's puzzles. Difficulty should be in the 3-3.5 range, I hope you enjoy!
Rules:
- Normal Sudoku rules apply: every row, column and 3x3 box contains digits from 1 to 9 each once.
- Digits within a cage don't repeat and they must sum to the small number written in the top left of that cage.
Puzzle:
Good luck and have fun solving!
Solution code: Row 7 (left to right) and column 5 (top to bottom), 18 digits long with no space

A very nice killer! The symmetry and choice of cages led to some quite fun deductions :)
