Broken Two (with FastSandals)
(Published on 19. September 2025, 16:38 by timotab)
This was a collaboration with my 12-year-old son, who goes by FastSandals. While we are both credited, my help was mostly meta-help, by asking how clues can interact and how to make a good solve path. We both hope you enjoy this puzzle, and if you do, FastSandals in particular would love to hear your comments about what you liked.
- Normal Sudoku rules apply: Place the digits 1 to 9 in every row, column, and box, without repetition.
- Digits in cages do not repeat and sum to the value in the top left corner.
- Box borders divide blue lines into segments of equal sum. Different lines can have different sums.

Some quite clever goings ons in this one :)
The title reminds me of that BNL song, "Broke into the old apartment..." :D
