GAS 863 – Zone or Killer? by Clover https://tinyurl.com/ymuxbba3
https://f-puzzles.com/?id=ypwlekya
Normal sudoku rules apply. Each cage is EITHER a killer cage, or a zone cage. In killer cages, all of the digits in the cage sum to the value indicated by the small clue in the corner of the cage. In zone cages, the clue in the corner tells you some (or all) of the digits that appear in that cage: for instance, a clue of "23" would mean that the cage contains both a 2 and a 3. (8:00/15:00)

GAS 864 – Bull Believer by Bill Murphy https://tinyurl.com/yyv6u8rw
https://f-puzzles.com/?id=yn6a7j3n
Normal sudoku rules apply. Digits in cages must sum to the total given. (7:00/13:00)

GAS 865 – Free Range Killer by Philip Newman https://tinyurl.com/rnxzn6ty
https://f-puzzles.com/?id=yruqsqrn
Normal sudoku rules apply. Values in corner circles give the sum of the digits in the surrounding four cells (which may repeat if allowed by other rules). (8:00/15:00)
