A hidden trick, some simple math, an exceptional sudoku.

My solve of the "Sixteen Minus One" by James Sinclair, a sudoku using the Killer and Difference Pairs constraints.

Puzzle Rules:
- Normal Sudoku rules apply.
- Digits in cages must sum to the number in the top left corner of the cage. Digits can not repeat within cages.
- Cells separated by a white dot must be consecutive. Not all dots are given.

Very cool to see my puzzle on your channel, glad you enjoyed it!

For any viewers who like killer sudoku (and have already downloaded BremSter's puzzle pack), check out Artisanal Sudoku. For some reason YouTube doesn't like it when I mention the platform, but it's not hard to find. New puzzles every week, and I try to keep them fairly approachable (this is definitely one of the tougher ones).

I did not find the break-in.
After watched the first 11 minutes, I solved it again and finished.
What a puzzle and solving! Thank you both.

Solved the puzzle in about 28 minutes. I really enjoyed this puzzle! It took me a while to find the break-in. However, seeing white dots I always think about parity with them. That was a really nice puzzle James.

28:47 - not for the first time, I needed a clue from Bremster to get started .... understanding the puzzle's title was key.

Best reaction ever discovering the 159 in column 9! Brilliant!

Fantastic puzzle, some tricks with killer cage logic and a very interesting solve!

[jonbrowne]

You are an awesome solver and setter Bremster! Been doing the Killer pack past 24 hours. Struggling on 1 or 2 of the easiest ones! So enjoyable and bloody free! You should charge for these! Thank you

Excellent puzzle, quite difficult. Took me 58:57 to solve it, though I was not able to find the logical break-in, so after a while I tried one of the options, and when that lead to an impossibility, tried the other to find the solution.

Frustrated myself a bit on this one. Went through the right side figuring out much of it. But then I couldn't remember what I did to recreate the symmetrical logic on the left side. Got it done, but took a very long time.

Probably I did not found the trick, so I had lots of trouble to get in somehow. 64:55 at the end.
But really a stunning symmetry!

I'm interested for your solve now :)

Effing link to play the puzzle won't work for me! I was looking forward to solving it as well. Boo hoo.
