Can You Solve The Impossible Sudoku?

** KICKSTARTER LAUNCHING WEDNESDAY 8.30PM UK TIME **
We're planning a Kickstarter campaign to help the creation of our new book: Cracking The Cryptic's Greatest Hit Volume 2. It should go live at 8.30pm TOMORROW!

Here's the link for anyone interested in helping make it happen:

** TODAY'S PUZZLE **
Happy Birthday RockyRoer! Simon attempts RockyRoer's astonishing What Do Killers Eat? sudoku - a puzzle with a remarkable lack of digits. This one is absolutely stunning though so do give it a go if you can!

Play the puzzle at the link below:

https://app.crackingthecryptic.com/su...

Rules:
Normal sudoku rules apply. In cages, digits cannot repeat. The digits in each cage sum to the “cage total”. Clues outside of the grid (“Sandwich totals”) are the sum of the digits between the 1 and 9 in their row/column. In every row and column containing a “?”, the sandwich total will be equal to one of the cage totals in that row/column. Nothing is known about rows/columns with no ? clue. EG Row 7's sandwich total is either equal to the cage total from column 1's 7-cell cage, the 8-cell L shaped cage in column 2, the 4 cell cage in column 3, the 2 cell cage in Box 8, the 5 cell cage in boxes 5/8, or the 9 cell cage in boxes 8 and 9.

** OCTOBER MONTHLY REWARD - OUT NOW **
