When the Sudoku Hunter becomes the Sudoku Hunted.
54My solve of "Twix", by ICHTUES. A sudoku using the Anti-King, Killer, Hunter Cages, and Consecutive Pairs constraints.

This puzzle uses the Hunter Cage constraint, which is something I (BremSter) came up with a year ago and it seemed to go no-where so I never looked at it again.
I am so grateful to ICHTUES for taking this idea and making an amazing puzzle with it. I really do love this constraint and I am so glad this happened.
This puzzle has also been published on Logic Masters Germany:

Puzzle Rules:
- Normal Sudoku rules apply.
- Cells that are a King's move apart (in chess) may not contain the same digit.
- Cages are both Killer cages and Hunter cages.
- Digits in Killer Cages cages must sum to the number in the top left corner of the cage.
- Brown cages are Hunter cages. Digits placed in hunter cages point to that box in the grid, and the cell in the same position in that box. The digits in the top left corner of a hunter cage must be pointed to by the digits in the cage; digit order does not matter.
- Cells separated by a white dot must be consecutive. Not all dots are given.
You can see the original puzzle that this constraint was used in, Bounty, on Logic Masters Germany.
