Sudoku Variants Series (209) - Bust Sudoku
(Published on 28. November 2017, 00:00 by Richard)
Bust Sudoku
Inspiriation for this type comes from Sudoku GP 2014 round 5 (Japan).
Solve online in F-Puzzles or CtC-app (thx Nick Smirnov!)
Place the digits from 1 to 9 in every row, column and 3x3-block. Clues outside the grid indicate the first cell such that the sum of the digits in the corresponding direction is greater than 21. (The name Bust comes from the game Blackjack where going over 21 means busting.)
Solution code: Row 6, followed by column 6.

I have updated all my previous comments to now have links without solution checking.

Reply: oh, wow! That must have been an impressive job! Thx! Currently I am in peak season at work, so have hardly time to spend on puzzles. In a few weeks I start updating the links in the puzzle descriptions too!

Note to sisk0: Thanks a lot for all your efforts making/updating the solve links. I discovered only today that the answer check also means that you can check digit by digit that you are still on the right track with solving and I actually don't like that. So for future puzzles I appreciate not to publish a link with answer check, but one without. :)
For the new SVS-puzzles, I will use the online solve tool without answer check too, starting today.
