(Published on 17. August 2026, 18:15 by The Pi Guy)

A collaboration puzzle by myself & Frohni.


Sudoku: Put the digits 1-9 once each into every row, column & 3 by 3 box.

Cages: The digits in each cage can’t repeat and must sum to the value in the top left corner of the cage.

Good luck and have fun!

looks can be deceiving, how is this 2-star initially lol. fun stuff.

Edit (The Pi Guy): Glad you enjoyed it. :) [3 stars is where we put it as it’s only simpler if you have the right thought.]

I obviously didn´t find that path.
(Or not at first) took me 2 hours.
Anyway great setting.

Edit (The Pi Guy): O-kay, that’s quite the contrast! :P All credit to you for persisting, that’s a serious effort. :)

A satisfying and fun puzzle, thank you. I'm thinking that I might have used an unintended solve path since I got a sub-20, which is unusual for me with 3*, so I'm thinking this might be 2*. A good time nonetheless

Edit (The Pi Guy): Aha, it sounds like you actually found the intended path, which is great. :)
