X Times X

(Published on 27. April 2021, 13:51 by Fosapifi)

I came up with a varient, I call x times x. Apparently NikolaZ had the same idea many years ago. It is pretty hard to get it to work but the logic is worth it.
Thanks to Pangis10 for the feedback and rangsk for featuring it in your livestream!

Rules:

-Normal Sudoku rules apply
-Box 5 is a magic square (each row, column and diagonal sums to the same number)
-In the green region the digit x appears x times (eg the digit 3 appears 3 times)

@Fosapifi: the concept of having 1 digit 1, 2 digits 2 ... 9 digits 9 is not new; NikolaZ did such a puzzle many years ago. But by adding the magic square in the middle you gave birth to a new hybrid. :-)
The one from Nikola inspired me for SVS #055: https://logic-masters.de/Raetselportal/Raetsel/zeigen.php?id=00024V
