You Are (Sudoku)
(Published on 8. October 2021, 19:01 by steelwool)
The letters 'YOU' represent three distinct digits, likewise 'ARE' represent three different distinct digits.
All the white cages contain only digits from YOU ARE.
All the blue cages contain digits from YOU or ARE, but not both.
Also, the sum of a blue cage is twice the sum of the digits in the cage that are from YOU or ARE.
For example, if Y=4 and O=1 and YO are in a blue cage, then the sum of the cage would be (4+1)*2=10
The YOU digits are all friends, they always have at least one digit from their group a knight's move away.
Likewise, the ARE digits are friends, they always have at least one digit from their group a knight's move away.
Standard Sudoku, Killer and Little Killer rules apply (cages do not have repeated digits, diagonals may have).
"You Are" is a track on Nitin Sawhney's new album, Immigrants. It's a great album, and this is just one of several excellent tracks.

Verry nice logic! Give it a try.
Die "friendly" Bedingung habe ich gar nicht benutzt und mir das Leben dadurch wohl schwerer gemacht als nötig.
