Mystery Sandwich Clones Sudoku
(Published on 6. May 2020, 18:02 by MartinR)
- Standard Suduko rules apply
- Numbers outside the grid refer to the sum of the digits sandwiched between the digits "A" and "B"
- "A" and "B" are not given, and need to be deduced (but are the same for all rows/columns)
- There are three shaded areas in the grid
- Two of these are clones of each other, and contain the same 4 distinct digits
- The other area has contains 4 different distinct digits
- Which areas are the clones ("the two slices") and which is the other ("the filling") also has to be deduced
- For example, if it is found the cloned regions contain the digits "1,2,3,4" then the other region must contain four of the five digits ("5,6,7,8,9")
