On to Day 3, and today’s puzzle is a combination of XV and King’s move sudoku called ‘We 3 Kings’. Cells with an X or a V between them sum to 10 or 5 respectively. No digit may appear within a Chess King’s move of itself. Additionally, there are a few short thermometers, along which the digits must increase (but need not be consecutive).
For the standard version, be sure to note that there is a negative restraint (all Xs and Vs are given), but this is not the case on the family puzzle.
