Pared Down

PUZZLE:
RULES:
Normal Sudoku rules apply.
•
Killer: Digits within a cage must sum to the number in the top-left corner
(
digits must not repeat within a cage).
•
Parity (
red): Digits along a Parity line alternate parity {odd/even}.
MODIFIERS:
•
Negator: There are 9 Negator cells contained within the grid comprised of a set of the digits from 1-to-9. Each row, column and box contains exactly one Negator cell
for Killer values
Negators subtract the value of the digit in that cell from cage totals (
instead of adding them).
INTRODUCTION:
This was a prompt posted by
Scojo for one of his setting weekends and I absolutely loved it. There's something about giving yourself a few restrictions that really gets the creativity flowing. I'd never used Negators, in fact I don't think I've solved a puzzle before with Negators but they lead to some cool logic. I'll definitely be revisiting that constraint in the future. I hope you enjoy.
Have fun!
