The brief
Normal Sudoku rules apply. X PAIRS- Numbers with an X between them sum to 10. KROPKI PAIRS- Numbers with a white dot between them are consecutive. Not all possible X and dots are shown. KILLER CAGE- First, Solve the puzzle with the numbers in the cage summing to 7. Write down the three numbers in row 1, box 1. Second, Solve the puzzle with the numbers in the cage summing to 13. Write down the three numbers in row 8, box 7. The solution code in Logic Masters Germany is these 6 numbers. The pink coloring is the door, and has no effect on the puzzle.
The brief sets this puzzle twice, with the cage adding to 7 and then to 13. We solve it with a cage of 7.
