HOW TO PLAY<br />
It’s like sudoku: each<br />
vertical and horizontal<br />
line has to contain<br />
the numbers 1-6, and<br />
the numbers can’t be<br />
repeated in any row or<br />
column.<br />
But it’s sudoku with a<br />
twist: <strong>The</strong> numbers in<br />
each heavily outlined<br />
set of squares, called<br />
cages, must produce the<br />
number in the top corner.<br />
For example, 5+ means<br />
the numbers add up to 5,<br />
9x means the numbers<br />
multiply to equal 9.<br />
TIP: Numbers can be repeated in a cage, as long as they are not in the<br />
same line or row.<br />
