Normal Sudoku rules apply.
Digits in a cage must sum to the given total. Except...
One of the digits, 1-9, is poison. If a cage contains the poisoned digit, then digits in the cage must NOT sum to the given total.
Digits in a cage may not repeat, regardless of poison.
Solution code: Row 9

What a wonderful puzzle! Very clever constructed! I struggled a bit with the 13, but at least I got it. Thank you for sharing! :-))
@ peacherwu2: This low rating goes back to ONE solver of the 16 solvers before me. And he is always the same who give absolut low ratings.

This is one of the hardest and subtlest Sudokus I've ever done. At first it seems like anything could be anywhere, and that any cage could be poisoned or not - like a logic puzzle where you don't even know how many lies or truths there are. Really amazing.
