Base Camp
(Published on 27. July 2021, 00:38 by jwsinclair)
Normal sudoku rules apply.
Digits cannot repeat within a cage.
The small number in the top left cell of each cage is the sum of the digits in the cage expressed in a non-decimal number system. The base of each cage's given sum is equal to the digit in the cell showing that sum. (For example, if a two-cell cage contained the digits 6 and 5 in that order from left to right, its sum would be given as 15, because 15 in base-6 is equal to 11 in base-10.)

All number systems are base-10 if you think about it...

Beautifully intricate. Loved how it forces to think outside normal base 10 number systems. A mathematical joy from start to end.

This was a jolly ascent from base camp once I'd remembered how bases work.

Fun puzzle. Reminded me of college Comp Sci lab, when I could look at '1111' and see '15' without thinking about it.

Nice idea! After a few moments of confusion, the horizon cleared up and I was able to stroll through that meadow of your base camp, picking flowers everywhere ... ;-)
