Fill in the grid so that each row, column and outlined 3x3 box contains the digits 1 through 9.
Each 3x3 box has individual rules:
Arrows (Top left box): The digit in the circle is the total of the digits in all cells its arrow passes through.
Addition (Top middle box): The 3-digit number formed in the third row is the total of the 3-digit numbers formed in the 1st and 2nd rows.
Even-odd (Top right box): The digits in the gray cells should be of the same parity (all even or all odd).
Trio (Middle left box): Digits 1-3 go in the circles, digits 4-6 go in the squares, digits 7-9 go in the remaining cells.
Fortress (Center box): Digits in gray cells are greater than digits in adjacent white cells. This rule extends to adjacent 3x3 boxes!
Killer (Middle right box): The totals of all digits in the outlined inner areas are given.
Arithmetic (Bottom left box): Numbers between adjacent cells are either the sum, difference, product or division of the digits in these cells.
Kropki (Bottom middle box): When two numbers in adjacent cells are consecutive, there is a white dot between them; when one of the numbers is twice as big as the one in the adjacent cell, there is a black dot between them. 1 and 2 may be separated by a dot of either color.
Quad (Bottom right box): All digits in the gray cells form a consecutive sequence. Treat 9 and 1 as consecutive for this puzzle.
To win, submit the sum of the numbers in the diagonal going from top left to bottom right for each puzzle.
