A-Sums Sudoku (2)
(Published on 8. November 2020, 06:00 by ICHTUES)
- Clues outside the grid indicate the sum of the digits placed before digit A in the respective row or column. Digit A is constant, if the clue has the same colour. So there are five different A's (black, green, red, gray and blue). It is part of solving to find the value of A.
- x is always the same number and it is part of solving to find the value of x.
Solution code: row 8 and row 9

This puzzle is tough as nails. It didn't let up until the very end. I still love the idea, and this puzzle is fantastic. I left a potential rewording of the A-Sums rule in my comment on your other puzzle.

Wirklich gut. Nach wiederholtem Durchforsten aller Möglichkeiten hat sich mir nach und nach die Logik erschlossen. Alles logisch, alles machbar. Aber es sind so viele kleine Schritte, dass ich doch eher zu den 5 Sternen tendiere.

@cdwg2000 For each colour, we have a different number A. An A-sum is the sum of all the numbers in the row/column from the start of the row/column which come before the number A in that row/column.
Eg. Suppose a red A is 1, and blue A is 2 and black A is 3.
Then for the row with numbers 782564319, we have the following:
Red A-sum = 7+8+2+5+6+4+3 = 35
Blue A-sum = 7+8 = 15
Black A-sum = 7+8+2+5+6+4 = 32
