The brief
• Normal Sudoku rules apply. Place the digits 1-9 in each row, column and box without repetition. • XV Pairs: Digits separated by an X sum to 10. Digits separated by a V sum to 5. Not all Xs and Vs are necessarily given. • Little Killer: Clues outside the grid are the sum of the digits along the indicated diagonal. Digits may repeat if allowed by other rules. • Cages: Digits in cages cannot repeat and must sum to the value shown in the upper left corner of the cage.
