Sudoku policier — les affaires du 12 août 2026

Tous les détectives du monde ont reçu ces mêmes scènes le 12 août 2026 : chaque difficulté est publiée deux fois, une fois à votre rythme et une fois en contre-la-montre. Chaque affaire est générée par ordinateur puis prouvée comme n'ayant qu'une seule solution logique avant publication, y compris celles où quelqu'un ment. Vous replacez chaque suspect sur le plan à partir de son seul témoignage : exactement une personne par ligne, jamais deux dans une colonne. Celui qui reste seul avec la victime est le coupable.
