*** TODAY'S PUZZLE ***
Two years ago PixelPlucker created a puzzle, Sums & Products, that we somehow missed at the time. It's a very clever idea and the execution is sublime. In fact, we wonder whether this might make a better math exam than many actual math exams!!
Play it at the link below:
https://app.crackingthecryptic.com/sudoku/p6Gq7dJBJ7
Rules:
Normal sudoku rules apply. Digits in cages may not repeat and must sum to the total indicated (or, if a range is indicated, a total within that range). Some cages may have unknown totals. An “x” between cells indicates that the two adjacent digits are multiplied when calculating the cage total. For example, the total of the 49-cage would be calculated like this:
49 = (R7C1 x R8C1) + (R8C2 x R9C2) + R7C2 + R9C1
*** NEW CONTENT ON PATREON ***
As well as the Phistomefel and Jay Dyer extravaganzas, Simon's solve of Magnus Josefsson's new puzzle Castle Wall Yin Yang #1 is now available as a bonus video. You can play the puzzle at the link below (and the logic-masters link contains an example):
