Weekly Assassin Killer Sudoku

Killer Sudoku is an interesting variant of Sudoku that has gained a lot of popularity lately. The combination of the logic of Sudoku with the arithmetic of the sums provides that extra level of difficulty that many advanced Sudoku players were waiting for.

SudoCue.net presents a weekly Killer Sudoku. In the best of our tradition, this killer is a true Assassin. Don't turn your back on it.

Assassin 79 for the week starting Friday November 30, 2007

In my opinion, this Assassin is easier than number 78. It still has an impressive solving path, which may contain some hidden shortcuts. There is an RP version on the forum.

The vague line below is a code string that you can select, copy and paste in SumoCue. Other programs also support this format.
