I m not being able to understand how the slanted killer cages sudoku work? Can anyone explain how to approach this variant ?

Hi Akash, I have never solved one - but from the file shared, the rule seems like these
The number given at the top of the cage = Sum of all the numbers "within" the cage _PLUS_ (Sum of all the numbers which are on the border of the cage / 2)
Also numbers within a cage, must be unique!

And the number which are on the border - may contribute to more than one cage (Like the cage at the bottom left)
I might be wrong, but that's what I understand, and seems valid on the example given.

I recorded my solve for Slanted Killer Sudoku from Sudoku IB if anyone is interested in the logical path.

That was a wonderful and fun filled 2 day event. Both Puzzle and Sudoku events were impeccably organized by Prasanna and Amit respectively.
I tremendously enjoyed day 2 since I love longer rounds and there were a lot of rounds with long duration. Choice of sudoku types were also nice and it was refreshing to see many interesting variants in the mix.
Quality of puzzles and sudokus were fantastic as well.
Thanks to Amit, Prasanna, all authors for creating wonderful sudokus/puzzles and to volunteers for helping out.

The contest page (https://logicmastersindia.com/live/?contest=SMPR23OfflineFinals) has this text:

"Puzzle Booklet (Will be uploaded later)".

Is this true? If so, when?

Elsewhere in this thread I see this info:

"The content for ISC 2023 is available for purchase now. " There is no mention of the IPC

So when, and how, will I be able to buy and/or download the IPC content?

That was mentioned here: https://logicmastersindia.com/forum/forums/thread-view.asp?pid=31691
