*** TODAY'S PUZZLE ***
This is the ultimate puzzle in a wonderful series we've been delighted to showcase over the last month or so. We've had a 5x5, 6x6 and 7x7 sudoku with these rules but today Xenonetix presents the "final boss" - a 9x9 sudoku in which every cage must sum to a distinct prime number.

This is one of those puzzles that will remember long after you solve it.

Play the puzzle at the link below:
https://sudokupad.app/FF7LtbJ3Hn

Rules:
Normal sudoku rules apply. The digits in each cage sum to a prime number but no two cages sum to the same prime. Digits in a cage MAY repeat. For convenience, the prime numbers from 1 to 100 are: 2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17, 19, 23, 29, 31, 37, 41, 43, 47, 53, 59, 61, 67, 71, 73, 79, 83, 89, 97.
