Sudoku Variants Series (340) - Median Killer Sudoku

(Published on 29. September 2021, 00:00 by Richard)

For this Sudoku Variants Proect I have planned to publish a different Sudoku variant every week. I will see how long it takes before I am running out of ideas.

Median Killer Sudoku
Apply classic sudoku rules.
The small digits in the upper left corner of each cage (dotted outlined region) indicate the median of the digits in that cage. The median is the middle digit in a set of increasing order (i.e. 2 for 1,2,8), or the average of the two middle digits, in case of an even number of digits (i.e. 3 for 1,2,4,9). Within each cage all digits must be different.

Inspiration for this type comes from one of the most innovative sudoku authors in our portal:RockyRoer.
