Regeln:
Sudoku: Platziere die Ziffern 1-9 genau einmal in jede Zeile, Spalte und Box.
Deflection cells: Jede Zeile, Spalte und Box hat genau eine Deflection cell. Jede Deflection cell enthält eine andere Ziffer.
Little Killer: Die Hinweise außerhalb des Rasters geben die Summe der Ziffern auf der angegebenen Diagonalen an. Auf der Diagonalen dürfen sich Ziffern wiederholen.
Wenn eine Little Killer-Diagonale auf eine Deflection cell trifft, wird sie um 90° im Uhrzeigersinn abgelenkt ("biegt rechts ab"). Falls eine Little Killer-Diagonale ein Feld mehr als einmal besucht, zählt das Feld mehrfach zu der entsprechenden Summe.
Exemplary Deflection (Beispielrätsel mit Ziffern 1-6):
Deflection (Haupträtsel):
Lösungscode: Spalte 8 und Spalte 9

What a cool invention that was ! Reminded me of some laser game app where you had to light some bulbs by reflecting a laser source around the grid with mirrors...

Just found this puzzle on CTC. Wonderful puzzle, but one suggestion. I can see that the example makes it clear but the rules itself, all I saw on ctc, it wasn't clear if the deflection cell is counted in the sums. That is does it deflect from outside or inside (e.g. if r5c2 was a deflection cell for the 6 clue does it hit that then go r3c1 or is it a barrier so it goes r4c3to r3c2)
Myxo: That's exactly why I included the example! These rules can be interpreted in some different ways, and I felt like explaining them more technically will make them more complicated to understand, so I went with the "show don't tell" approach.

I really though when reading the rules that I wouldn't solve it. But it was really fun and very nice flow :) Thanks !
