La soeule regle nouveau du sudoku killer est que dans chaque groupe de même couleur la addition équat la numero donné

Ca veut dire, dans le 1er sur cette page au debut où il y a la 17, les deux ne peuvent être que 8 et 9 comme seulement 8+9 = 17

Excuse mon francais, c'est pas ma langue maternelle, mais j'éspère qu'on peut comprendre cette expliquation.
