Introducing: ... Paws!
Here's where you can try Four Sided Calcunundrum by Paws: https://app.crackingthecryptic.com/430df4fh2w
Normal sudoku rules apply. If a square containing 'N+' appears in the grid, then consider the two pairs of diagonally opposite digits in the 2x2 surrounding the square. Each of those two pairs of digits has a sum of N. If a square just containing "+" appears in the grid, then the two pairs of diagonally opposing digits in the 2x2 surrounding the square must still sum to the same N. These rules also apply to the other operations (-, x and /).
