Sudoku de assassinato — os casos de 15 de agosto de 2026
Todos os detetives do mundo receberam estas mesmas cenas em 15 de agosto de 2026: cada dificuldade é publicada duas vezes, uma ao teu ritmo e outra contrarrelógio. Cada caso é gerado por computador e depois provado ter exatamente uma solução lógica antes de ser publicado, incluindo os casos em que alguém mente. Colocas cada suspeito na planta usando apenas o seu testemunho: exatamente uma pessoa por linha e nunca duas numa coluna. Quem ficar sozinho com a vítima é o culpado.
