Black Jack
(Published on 5. December 2021, 07:02 by Andrewsarchus)
Rules:
- Normal Sudoku rules apply.
- All Black Jack Cages must have a total score of 21. Black Jack Cages are similar to Killer Cages, with the exception that a 1 (or "Ace") can be scored either as a 1 or as an 11. Digits (regardless of how they are scored) cannot be repeated within cages. To be clear, you cannot have two 1s in a cage even if you want to score one as an 11 and the other as a 1.
- The clue outside of the grid is an X-sum. It shows the sum of the first X digits in the row starting from its side of the grid, where X is the digit in the cell closest to the clue.

@apiyo: You might have ran into the same problem I have. If so, there's a certain box you need to re-evaluate.

I've attempted twice and run into the same conflict both times! Hopefully I'll get there, it's a really interesting puzzle. If I don't make it, thanks all the same Andrew!
