5 Golden Rings
by Will Power
- Killer cages
- Anti-king
- Kropki dots
The brief
Normal Sudoku rules apply. ANTI KING-The same number cannot be a chess king's move apart. CELL RANKING- A cell's rank is equal to the number of golden lines that go to the center of the cell (Example: Row 5 Column 5 has 6 lines that go to its center, and is rank 6). WITHIN EACH OF THE NINE 3x3 BOXES, cells with higher rank will always be a higher number than cells with a lower rank. Cells with no golden lines can be any number. KROPKI PAIRS- Numbers with a white dot between them are consecutive. Numbers with a black dot between them are in a ratio of 2:1. Not all possible dots are given. Numbers in cages sum to the number in the top left corner of the cage.
