Puzzle 406 Killer 60 Sudoku
This month sees my debut as The Actuary's puzzles editor.
I am proud to be taking the reins from Rakhee Raja who
has been testing the finest actuarial minds on these
pages for many years. The editorial team would like to
extend its sincere gratitude to Rakhee for her sterling
work and to wish her the very best for the future. I hope I
can keep you similarly challenged and entertained in the
months to come.

Hello and goodbye Puzzle 407 Hidden capital
NOTES
Killer Sudoku, with a twist. Place one of nine natural numbers
(1, 2, 3 etc.) in each blank cell. Within the grid every column,
every row and every 3x3 box should contain the same nine
numbers. The numbers within each coloured shape add up to
the printed top left-hand figure. Within each shape, a number
cannot be repeated.
The same simple encryption has been applied to several
world capital cities listed below (also two of the capitals
have had spaces removed). Reverse the encryption to give
the original names.
