Detective Sudoku - Find the Killers! (V2)

(Published on 14. July 2020, 17:36 by brandonstitt)

Normal sudoku rules apply.

In addition, you must find 9 "killer" cells in the grid.
- There is only one "killer" cell per row, column, and box.
- The "killer" cells contain the digits 1-9 exactly once each.

The numbers outside the grid indicate the sum of the cells between that edge and the "killer" cell, non-inclusive of the "killer" cell.

(This is updated from the previous version to remove the required "Unique Rectangles" logic.)

An example is given below:
- "Killer" cells are colored red

It is not, unfortunately. Which is really too bad because the first part of the puzzle solves nicely; it would be a good one if it were fixed.

Is this puzzle updated yet? I like the idea and want to give it a try, but the comments state there are multiple solutions.

- Version 2 still has two solutions indeed.
- Why did you change the picture of the first version? Now we have twice the same invalid puzzle!
- I second Greg's remark, what is with this Wyvern_64 account that solves your puzzles - and only them - in record time?

Had a go at this... got stuck. Now I see I missed a 36 in the bottom... That might help -- I'll try again tonight.
