Elasticity (Killer sudoku)

(Published on 12. January 2024, 18:52 by sujoyku)

The break-in has an idea similar to one of my previous puzzles (can you guess which?), but here it may be harder to find. I think the overall difficulty should be around 4/5. One step in the solve path is especially close to my heart. For a certain cage that seemingly is very unrestricted all invalid combinations can be excluded in a different manner. Please feel free to tell in the comments how you liked the puzzle. I wish you joyful solving!

- Normal sudoku rules apply.

- Killer cages: Digits in a cage do not repeat and sum to the clue in the top left.

A lot of cool stuff in this grid. I agree with you concerning the 3.75

Well done.

Thank you for your comment, mihel111! I am glad that you liked the puzzle. The 3.75/5 was kind of a joke, but it is nice that you are agreeing. :)
Kind regards, sujoyku

Very nice logic. I think it's at most 2/5, but I don't mind that. :)

Thank you for your comment, Piatato! I am glad that you enjoyed the logic of the puzzle. Concerning difficulty: I would say that the puzzle is on the easier side of 4/5, but to me it feels harder than 3/5 (maybe 3.75/5 to be ultra-precise? ^^). On the other hand, difficulty is subjective and you might simply be a better solver than I am. Anyhow, thanks again for giving your opinion!
Kind regards, sujoyku
