Let's take a breather. If this one is still hard, you should practice your skyscraper tricks. The idea comes from Mark Sweep's puzzle
Standard sudoku rules applies. Fill the grid with numbers from 1 to 9 so each digit occurs exactly once in every row, column and 3x3 box.
The digit outside the grid means the number of skyscrapers one can see behind 1, 1 not included.
This puzzle is made by borescoper from China. I don't have any idea how to make a good story out of it, so here it goes. You could solve this one as skyscraper after x, But borescoper think it's just an unnecessary amount of extra rules with little in return.
Solution code: Row 5 and column 8 (18 digits)

Thank you Bigger!
Absolutely love this puzzle type :-)
Bigger: Thanks. But I still like doughts and caged thermos more. Honestly, both borescoper and I don't think you guys would like this one. He think it's too easy. I think it's too close to skyscraper.

If the row was 512346789 would the clue be 7 or 4?
