Mörderisches Sudoku — die Fälle vom 14. August 2026
Alle Detektive der Welt bekamen am 14. August 2026 dieselben Tatorte: jede Schwierigkeit wird zweimal veröffentlicht, einmal in Ruhe und einmal im Zeitangriff. Jeder Fall wird erzeugt und dann vor der Veröffentlichung bewiesen genau eine logische Lösung zu haben — auch die Fälle, in denen jemand lügt. Sie setzen jede verdächtige Person allein anhand ihrer Aussage auf den Plan: genau eine pro Reihe, nie zwei in einer Spalte. Wer mit dem Opfer allein bleibt, war es.
