But to be honest, I didn't enjoy doing it. This would be a nightmare for anyone with dyslexia. I was getting 13s and 31s and 23s and 32s confused and had to slow down. It helped to figure out that the sum of a box/row/column = 198, similar to the 45 rule in killer. I did like the 1,22,333,4,5,6 puzzle you made earlier. I believe the double-digit values turned me off. Finished it. But to be honest, I didn’t enjoy doing it. This would be a nightmare for anyone with dyslexia.

I've made some other interesting variations on numbers though - for example one with powers of two (which as anyone who's ever used binary will immediately note, gives something of a hint for some of the cages...), and another using British coins! I might post these at some point. :) Yes, I think negative numbers should just be for ’special occasions’!

I've just about got used to the fact that the dashed cages mean 'killer' and the solid cages 'Calcudoku'. Some interesting puzzles(not sure about the negative numbers one - too much like a maths lesson!) but this one in particular was fun. I think you’re having fun creating all these variations!
