Mystery Killer

(Published on 22. July 2020, 20:43 by Phistomefel)

This puzzle is a partial killer sudoku, where the cage clues are only given indirectly. It is a follow-up puzzle of the 13-Killer and I think it is a good bit more difficult.

Usual sudoku rules apply. Areas surrounded by a dashed line are also called cages. Digits may not repeat within a cage. There exists a two-digit number x, such that the digits in each cage add up to a multiple of x. The number x is the same for each cage and has to be determined first.

Now for the puzzle. It is available online via f-puzzles. Have fun solving!

Solution code: 6th and 8th column

A very nice sequel to the 13-killer ! A bit harder to diqambiguate cages but not that much. The mystery number construction is a very clever thing ! Loved it !

I'm very late, but great puzzle! After setting 3 mystery killers being inspired by you, this came much easier.

Sehr schön und ich fand es gar nicht so schwer.
Die Zahl x zu finden ging bei mir relativ schnell.
