This puzzle was inspired by the norinori craze on the CtC discord server after Simon did a norinori-sudoku hybrid puzzle. My puzzle is a bit different. It combines sudoku, norinori, sandwich and crypto-clues as well as magic squares, etc... - so is a bit of a mash-up. Hopefully a fun puzzle though. Please try it and let me know.
Because I'm Mad
• Each row, column & 3x3 box contains the digits 1-9.• Outside clues are the sum of all digits between the 1&9 in the row or column.
• Cells containing a grey circle must contain an odd digit.
• Digits in some clues have been replaced with letters. Each letter N,R & X represents a digit from 1-9.
• Some clues give two options. For example a cell containing “N or 1” must contain either the value of N or it must contain a 1.
• Each 3x3 box must contain exactly two shaded cells.
• Each shaded cell must be orthogonally adjacent to exactly one other shaded cell.
• Every cell containing a 1 must be shaded
• If a 3x3 box forms a magic square the 5 in that box must be shaded.
• In all boxes that are not a magic square the 9 must be shaded
