Rules:
Normal Sudoku rules apply, requiring that each row, column, and 3×3 box contains the digits 1-9 exactly once. Additionally:
-
·No Triple Evens:
No three consecutive cells in the same row or column may all be even numbers.
·Disjoint Groups:
Cells with the same position within the boxes contain all the numbers 1-9.
·Little Killers:Digits along marked diagonals sum to the number indicated outside the grid.
·Sub-Sudoku:
Diamond cells form a 5×5 Irregular Sudoku with its irregular regions colored differently.
·Magic Square:
Box 5 is a Magic Square, i.e. every row, column and 3-cell diagonal within the box sums to 15.
·Quadruples/Doubles:
All digits inside a circle appear in at least one of the four/two surrounding cells.
