Magic Killer Pentominoes
(Published on 3. February 2023, 16:00 by Blobz)
Normal sudoku rules apply.
The central 3x3 shaded box is a magic square, i.e. each row, column, and diagonal (of 3 digits each) sum to the same total.
The 60-cell caged region contains one each of the twelve standard pentominoes (no repeats by reflection or rotation). The given digits indicate the number of pentominoes that contribute to the corresponding box.
White dots lie on the boundary between two pentominoes, AND indicate digits that differ by 1 (not all such dots are shown). No two pentominoes share more than one such dot. Each pentomino has at least two dots on its boundary.
Once placed, each pentomino forms a 5-cell cage containing digits that do not repeat and that sum to the following totals:
F=26, I=22, L=22, N=22, P=16, T=24, U=30, V=27, W=24, X=25, Y=25, Z=26

Not a bad puzzle, smooth pentomino logic as always
I wonder if the lower rating is because solvers overlooked the magic square rules like I did?
