Bottom's Up (159 + Irregular)
(Published on 6. September 2021, 17:27 by purpl)
This puzzle is designed to destroy your concept of 159 as a simple "remember the high medium low combination" ;) but perhaps you can find the analogs of that idea in this abnormal sudoku grid.
Thanks to PulverizingPancake, shye, MaverickJD, and tallcat for testing!
Rules:
Irregular sudoku: Each row, column, and region must contain all the digits 1-9 inclusive.
159: Digits in column 1 indicate the column in which the digit 1 appears in that row (e.g. if r4c1 is a 6, r4c6 is a 1). The same applies to columns 5 and 9, with the digits 5 and 9, respectively.

Solution code: Row 6 and column 5 (left to right, top to bottom, no spaces, 18 digits)
