Copy Copy Copy Cat Threes
(Published on 22. May 2026, 01:24 by Oddlyeven)
Rules: Normal Sudoku rules apply. Put the digits 1 to 9 once each into every row, column and box.
Copycat Threes: Every 3 in the grid has value equal to three times the digit that is 180° rotationally opposite it in the grid. For example if R4C2 is a three and R6C8 is a 7 then R4C2 has a value of 21. Each digit from 1 to 9 is copied and tripled once by a three.
Cages: Digits may not repeat in a cage. Values in a cage sum to the total in the top left corner of the cage, if given.

Fabulous setting. Thank you for clearly explaining the copy cat rules. I saw other cc puzzles and just didn't get it. This one made sense, and then I could see the break in and other fun deductions. Highly Recommend!!

Very cool! Having done a few copycat puzzles now, this one really felt like I got to use all the aspects I've learned of the variant. Very fun puzzle!
