- Normal sudoku rules apply to the first 9 rows - i.e. the 9x9 grid - but not the 10th
- The 10th row contains all digits from 1-9 and does not affect the 9x9 by sudoku; rather, a digit in this row indicates that the same digit is found in the equivalently valued row of that particular column i.e. the digit '4' placed in row 10 means that 4 is found in the 4th row of that same column
- Cages must sum to either 3,4,33,43 or 433; cages within the 9x9 grid may not contain repeated digits
- Cells separated by a white dot contain consecutive digits; not all dots are given

I was very excited about this puzzle, because John Cage is very important to me. I loved it! I had to start over a couple of times though :D

Novice solver but managed to make some nice logic jumps to get there after a bit of time. Really enjoyed the ruleset!

Very cool and original idea and great puzzle. I would say 4/5, but worth the effort!

This was lovely! The sums are very well chosen, and it took a little while for the logic induced by the bottom row to come together, but then it worked out.
REPLY: Thanks very much!
And... nice pun! :-)

Very nice puzzle! For the solution code, you should specify whether or not row 10 is to be included.
