If You Had To Solve This To Survive, What Would You Do?!
2,845Today's puzzle is one of the most incredible sudokus we've ever seen. It's a debut on the channel for FinnishGuy and it's called Palindromaze. And if, Squid Game-style, you had to solve this to survive, what would your strategy be?! You can play the puzzle at the following link:
https://app.crackingthecryptic.com/sudoku/DnhfRLQ8FF
Rules:
Normal sudoku rules apply. In cages, digits must sum to the small clue in the top left corner of the cage. Grey lines in the grid are palindromes, which must read the same forwards and backwards. The clue outside the grid gives the sum of the digits along the indicated diagonal. Digits can repeat along the diagonal if allowed by other rules. Cells separated by a white dot must contain consecutive digits. Cells separated by a black dot must be in a 1:2 ratio. Not all possible dots are given. Cells with a grey circle contain an odd digit.
