  • Killer cages

The brief

Normal sudoku rules apply, i.e. each row, column and 3x3 region has to contain the digits from 1 to 9 once each. Digits in a cage sum to the clue in the top left. The orange line is a so-called Omnipotent Line, i.e. each pair of adjacent digits on the line must fulfill either an X, V, white or black Kropki dot clue. In other words, any pair of adjacent digits on the line must sum to 5 or 10, be consecutive or in a 1:2 ratio. (At least one of these constraints must be met, it is allowed that two constraints are fulfilled simultaneously.) For example, a 3 may be adjacent on the line to either a 2 (V or white Kropki dot), a 4 (white Kropki dot), a 6 (black Kropki dot) or a 7 (X).
