Given 24 (Killer Sudoku)

(Published on 1. October 2025, 14:25 by sujoyku)

Ready for 24? This puzzle had testers torn between 3 and 4, so it probably is around 3.5 stars. To err on the side of caution, I post it at 4, but please rate it however you like. I am thanking all testers and wish you joyful solving!

Rules:

- Normal sudoku rules apply, i.e. each row, column, and 3x3 region has to contain the digits from 1 to 9 once each.

- Killer cages: Digits in a cage do not repeat and must sum to 24.

Here you can solve the puzzle online:

Solution code: Row 9 from left to right (9 digits in total)

I wonder what strange new places you'll take this series... my money is on all 3-cages.

**
Thank you for your comment, ViKingPrime! I should go where your money is on, right? I think there is a hot candidate before 3-cages, but who knows? :)
Kind regards, sujoyku
