Location: India		Congratulations to Kota for his win. It is hard to believe that this his first win in an LMI test, but he has been in top 3 in each of last 7 sudoku tests, except one.

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

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

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.

Location: United States		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?
