I would love some solution tips on the weighted killer. I did eventually get it but it took me a very long time!

joshuazucker// Thanks for enjoy our Sudokus.
Weighted Killer(Spoiler!!) : See http://home.postech.ac.kr/~meso/sudoku/weighted_killer.html
When I made this problem, Kwaka found that solution route very quickly. That's why we give (relatively) low points on this hard problem. Sorry for that

Yeah, I got stuck after finding the 389 in the middle of the top and finding the shaded 1s and 2s in the bottom rows ... what next?

Thanks for all the help! You're still earlier in the solve than the spot where it got hard for me.

That's why we give (relatively) low points on this hard problem. Sorry for that Spoiler: show Once you add the cages at two bottom rows(with additional cell R7C8), then you can get the clue. Since R8C5 and R8C6 can not be both 1 at the same time, the sum 96 is the minimum possible value. Hence R9C1 = R7C8 = 1 and we have a multiple set {R8C5, R8C6} = {1,2}. That is the starting point I intended. If it is not enough, the sum of first row also gives you many informations.
