Normal Sudoku rules apply.
Clues outside the grid indicate the sum of the digits between 1 and 9 in the row or column.
1s and 2s must not appear orthogonally adjacent to each other.
The perimeter cells of the grid sum to 172.

(F-Puzzles will not validate 172 perimeter or 1/2 consecutive rule.)
This is my first published Sudoku. I hope it is interesting and enjoyable! Any feedback is very welcome. I wasn't sure how to rate the difficulty. I think it's fairly straight forward after a potentially tricky opening.
Solution code: R1R5

Yeah, ampersands don't work well with html. You have to write & as an escape sequence.
I really enjoyed this puzzle and I think the quality rating should be much higher. Perhaps people don't like the arbitrary-sounding rule set.. ? Or the issue with the solution code soured some opinions. Whatever ... I really don't mean to debate the topic, but I look forward to seeing more from this author.

Good puzzle, especially as your first! I published my first sudoku puzzle a while ago as well. Would you mind having a look at it? https://logic-masters.de/Raetselportal/Raetsel/zeigen.php?id=0003XE

Sorry everyone, I had entered "R1 & R5" as the solution code, but it looks like the output was ignoring the R5.

Sorry folks, I can only see one place to put the solution code (which applies to both languages) and it is correct. I'm not sure why people are having trouble with it. Two solves have been registered so it must be working for some?

please, fix the solutionn code in the english version (r1 & r5)

It's saying that the puzzle has 1 solve, so I'm assuming the solution code is working now?

"Perimeter = 172" means R1+R9+C1+C9=172.
I've checked the solution code and it is correct. But yes, the sequence provided by zorant is correct!

@zorant I think it means the R1+R9+C1+C9=172

What does mean "The perimeter cells of the grid sum to 172".
