Sudoku de asasinato — os casos do 12 de agosto de 2026

Todos os detectives do mundo recibiron estas mesmas escenas o 12 de agosto de 2026: cada dificultade publícase dúas veces, unha ao teu ritmo e outra contrarreloxo. Cada caso xérase por ordenador e despois próbase que ten exactamente unha solución lóxica antes de publicarse, incluídos os casos nos que alguén mente. Colocas cada sospeitoso no plano usando só o seu testemuño: exactamente unha persoa por fila e nunca dúas nunha columna. Quen quede a soas coa vítima é o culpable.
