[New Variant] Drifting Cages
(Published on 18. March 2022, 21:10 by Mad-Tyas)
Sudoku: Fill every row, column and 3x3 box with the digits 1-9.
Drifting Cages: Digits in cages must not repeat and have to add up to the total given in the top-left corner of the cage (standard killer).
In addition there is a second state of this puzzle in which all cages have drifted one cell in one orthogonal direction. The solution to the puzzle must satisfy the killer rule for both the initial arrangement and the arrangement after drifting. The solver needs to determine for each cage in which direction it drifts. Two cages must not drift to the same cell.
The inequality sign indicates that r5c3 has to contain a higher digit than r5c4.
Have fun solving!
Solution code: Row 5 followed by column 5 (18 digits)

This was a wonderful idea but for some reason I had a lot of trouble solving it "logically," I had to do trial and error quite a bit, I'd love to know what the intended solve path is
