Cage Play 5: ZipKiller
(Eingestellt am 4. Mai 2025, 14:27 Uhr von HalfBakedLunatic)
Hint: the initial candidates for R6C4 can be quickly determined from the minimum cage totals in R6C2 and R7C4. That will set the stage for the rest of the solution path...
The Rules:
• Normal Sudoku Rules Apply
• Digits in cages sum to the number in the corner, if given. Digits do not repeat within cages
• Cages equal distance from the center cage on a zipper line must sum to the center cage sum

Those deep red zipper lines make pencil marks hard to see

Great concept and incredible difficulty. Layers and layers of logic, thank you!

Another beautiful puzzle, 5+ difficulty and took a long time, yet it kept me continously looking for the next move.

Beautiful puzzle! For me it was 3 stars for difficulty. The solution code is a bit vague: the 4 initial candidates for R6C4 could be in any order. Thank you
-- There are some people who don't actually solve the puzzles, they are just extracting the solution from the link (and unfortunately these particular people tend to leave bad ratings simply to annoy puzzle authors) - I was trying to see if I could weed out the trolls, but I guess not. I have updated the code to just Row 4.

No hint needed, difficulty (3-)4 stars I think.
