Sum Lines / Summenzeilen
(Published on 12. January 2022, 15:22 by PDN777)
Normal sudoku rules apply. Digits on a sum line must sum to a specific number as determined by the line's color, and MAY repeat on the line, when other rules permit. The sums are as follows: green = 11; red = 10; yellow = 6. I think this puzzle is two stars out of five for difficulty for many solvers. As always, comments appreciated!
Solution code: First row of puzzle, and fourth column of puzzle (read top to bottom). Enter as a string of 18 digits, no spaces.

So far, I have got it wrong twice - but I love the concept. Will have another go later :)
** Hint: remember, unlike killer cages, digits MAY repeat on the sum lines. :-) /// So this is kind of sad, but I can't solve it myself! If it wasn't for the fact that it has been solved 87 times, I would think I broke it when setting. //// I just saw what I missed - I didn't see one of the lines.... now its flowing

One of my first puzzles on this side, and gotta say it's quite tricky (for me)! I made a mistake twice miscalculating one of the lines and still the Sudoku managed to be finished but the end result was wrong.
** Yeah I graded this puzzle as 2 stars originally, but the solvers voted it to 1 star. Maybe begin with a more traditional rule set? Like a standard killer sudoku? Anyway, I wish you good luck!

Really enjoyed the puzzle. The brake in was nice. Had some problems with scanning bc of late hours. But nice job
** Thanks for the solve. I hope you were able to get some sleep. ;-) Be well!
