Way Off Base
(Published on 17. May 2025, 21:15 by ul-Rhymm)
Here’s one for the math-ochists!
Standard Sudoku: Each row, column, and 3x3 region contains each digit 1-9 exactly once.
Killer: In cages, digits do not repeat and sum to the value in the top left corner. Cage values can be written in base 2 through base 9. For example, digits in cage marked 111 could sum to seven (base 2), thirteen (base 3), twenty-one (base 4), thirty-one (base 5), or forty-three (base 6). Cages with the same base cannot touch, even corner to corner.
Here's a resource for understanding the base system, if anyone is inspired to learn something new!
Solution code: Row 3, left to right.

Amazing work! After years of lurking, I created an account just to say I already want more of this ruleset (so if anyone knows any similar puzzles, let me know haha)
