The rules:
Normal sudoku rules DO NOT apply
Normal Schrodinger Sudoku rules apply: Fill the grid with the digits 0-9 such that no digit repeats in a row, column, or box.
S-cells: In each row, column, and box there is exactly one S-cell, S-cells contain two digits instead of one, and their value for the purpose of other clues is the sum of the values of those digits.
Killer Cages:The values in a cage sum to the value of the equation written in the top left of the cage. (2A means 2 multiplied by A.) Digits may not repeat in a cage (though values may repeat).
Numbered Rooms: Clues outside the grid indicate that digit appears (either alone or as part of an s-cell) in the Nth cell in the corresponding direction, where N is the value of the first cell in that direction.
Note: The first cell of a clue can never have the value 0, as there is no 0th cell for the clue to appear in.
Note: If the first cell's value is greater than 9, then the count returns to the first cell and continues. e.g. A value of 16 would mean the clue appears in the 7th cell.
Cipher: Each letter represents a different digit from 1-9. The same letter always represents the same digit.
Note: There are cells provided for keeping track of the cipher, but solution check will ignore those cells.
Some of my previous puzzles:
The Earl and The Count
+/- x
Four Corners

Great puzzle, great tribute to a fantastic band! Gorgeous break-in and a lovely solve path that more often than not comes as close to total madness as I dare to go. Thanks!

It's my belief that this big puzzle should be solved every night.

But when they're done for pleasure
They're the puzzles I like best. - There's probably a prompt/series in this. :D
