Is This Too Aad?
(Published yesterday, 18:20 by Chilly)
This puzzle dates back quite a way, as will become clear from the solve. It's a regular killer, with a small twist that I made as a tribute to Aad Van der Wetering. Please enjoy.
The Rules:
- Normal Sudoku rules apply.
- Digits in cages must sum to the given total in the cage. Digits may not repeat in a cage.
- The cages with no total all sum to the same value. The value must be determined by the solver.

Excellent. Lovely fun and logic. But if I didn't know the trick I might have hated it!
Yeah - hence the title. At the time I wasn't sure about this sort of thing, but it can be fun in small doses, and if it's done well.
