Sudoku de asesinato — los casos del 17 de agosto de 2026
Todos los detectives del mundo recibieron estas mismas escenas el 17 de agosto de 2026: cada dificultad se publica dos veces, una a tu ritmo y otra contrarreloj. Cada caso se genera por ordenador y luego se demuestra que tiene exactamente una solución lógica antes de publicarse, incluidos los casos en los que alguien miente. Colocas a cada sospechoso en el plano usando solo su testimonio: exactamente una persona por fila y nunca dos en una columna. Quien acabe a solas con la víctima es el culpable.
