Half Past Seven
(Published on 17. June 2026, 21:03 by Elekitu)
My first Sudoku puzzle.
RULES:
Normal 9x9 sudoku rules apply: Place the digits 1-9 once each in every row, column and 3x3 box.
• Killer Cage: Digits inside a cage cannot repeat, and must sum to the number indicated in the top left corner of the cage.
• Hour Hand: Digits along the arrow must sum to the circled total.
• Minute Hand: Adjacent digits along the blue line must differ by exactly one.
• Balanced Frame: Digits along the pink loop must alternate between "low" numbers (1-2-3-4-5) and "high" numbers (5-6-7-8-9). Note that 5 can be either low or high.
• A Speck of Dust: The "greater than" sign sits between two digits and points towards the smallest of the two.

Fun puzzle with a nice easy start, then needs some thinking. After the first cages are filled the job is almost done. Thanks!
