How Can ONE Sudoku Cell Be ≥ 21?!
1,276*** TODAY'S PUZZLE ***
If this puzzle was a gremlin, we read the rules and thought it's Stripe! The rating on Logic Masters suggests it's closer to Gizmo... :)
It's by Oddlyeven and the title gives away the conundrum, it's called Schrödinger's Doublers!!!! It's a very small, very brilliant puzzle but which gremlin is it??!
Play the puzzle at the link below:

Rules:
Put the digits 0 to 6 – once each, into every row, column and box. To enable this, one cell in every row, column and box is a “Schrödinger cell” that contains two digits. This cell counts as the sum of its digits for the following rules. One cell in every row, column and box is a doubler. This cell counts as double its value for the following rules. Each of the digits 0 to 6 appears exactly once in a doubler cell. The sum of the cell values on a line within a 2x3 box must be the same for each box that line passes through. Eg the values of r4c2+r3c3 = the values of r2c4+r1c4+r2c5
