Logic Masters Deutschland e.V.

This was part of a Setting Competition held in 2024/2025. The Skunkworks League was hosted by @damasosos92.
The competition took place in a total of 7 turns with a unique prompt for each round. Setter's had to create and test a unique puzzle for each prompt solely by themselves.

As of the prompt for Turn 6 of TSL the goal was to create a puzzle that uses the winning setter's IDs of the previous rounds and no other numerical clues. These were: 3, 6, 17, 17, 34, 45.


The prompt inspired me to create a set of two puzzles using the same killer cages with fairly different global rules.

First Puzzle's Rules:
Standard Sudoku rules apply. Put the digits from 1 to 9 exactly once into each row, column, and box.
X-V: Cells joined by an X or V must sum to 10(X) or 5(V). All such pairs are given.
Killer Cages: Digits in cages must sum to the number in the top-left corner and cannot repeat.
Lines: Each of the colored lines uses exactly three different digits.





Second Puzzle's Rules:
Standard Sudoku rules apply. Put the digits from 1 to 9 exactly once into each row, column, and box.
Disjoint Sets: Cells with the same position within the boxes contain all the numbers from 1 to 9.
Killer Cages: Digits in cages must sum to the number in the top-left corner (if given) and cannot repeat. If a cage has no given total the cage must still sum to one of the given totals (3, 6, 17, 34, 45).
