Quantum Sudoku
(Published on 10. October 2020, 00:12 by meowzzz)
- Normal sudoku rules apply, except for the red cells!
- Fill each row, column, and box with the numbers 1 through 9.
- Killer cage rules apply.
- Numbers must not repeat and must sum to a given total in the top left of the cage.
- Sandwich sudoku rules apply.
- The sum of the numbers between the largest (9) and smallest (1) number in the row or column must match the number indicted outside the grid.
- The red cells are in superposition:
- Normal sudoku rules DO NOT apply
- Red cells are 3 digits simultaneously, and don't need to be filled in.
- Each digit must be different when measured/observed from row, col, and box.
- Sandwiches measure red cells along the column or row they are on.
- All red cells share the same 3 digits.
- All red cells are given.
- The blue cells are entangled:
- Normal sudoku rules apply.
- Must use the same 3 digits used by the red cells.
- Not all blue cells are given.
Example:

- The red cells are determined to be the digits {2,3,9}.
- When measured it is {box=9, row=3, col=2}
- When the 35 sandwich on row 3 is measured it uses the the red number along the row which is a 3.
- The blue cells match the digits {2,3,9}.
- In box 1, r2c3 = 3 and r3c2 = 2
- In row 3, r3c2 = 2 and r3c9 = 9
- In col 3, r2c3 = 3 and r5c3 = 9

Absolutely fantastic puzzle! Not hard but very very creative and enjoyable logic.
I would just change the wording of solution code for:
"The measurements of Row 5 followed by Column 5"

I've been sitting on posting this puzzle for a while since the rules are confusing. Please yell at me if anything is unclear. ^^
