Advent Calendar
The brief
- Normal sudoku rules apply but using the digits 0-8 instead of 1-9.
- Find and colour the 24 hidden cages, which do not overlap. Each cage has a different total between 1 and 24 – the total for each cage is given on one of its cells (by a small clue in the corner).
- Digits MAY repeat within cages.
- All cages are triominoes (ie consist of 3 orthogonally connected cells) apart from one, which is a pentomino (containing 5 orthogonally connected cells.)
- Cells with a large snowball in the central 3x3 box count as double their value for the purposes of their cage totals (if they reside within a cage).
- Cells separated by a small white dot contain consecutive digits.
- Cells separated by a small black dot contain digits with a ratio of 1:2 (ie one is double the other.)
- Not all possible black and white dots are given.
