Whispering Fives (10x10)
(Published on 27. April 2022, 15:50 by M.K.)
Rules:
- Every row, column and 2x5 box must be filled with the digits 0 to 9 once each.
- The sum of the digits in a cage must match the small number in its corner (if given).
- Adjacent digits along a green line must differ by at least 5.
- Each cage starts one straight green line from its left cell going either left, up or down.
- The two digits in a cage represent the sum of all digits on the line originating from that cage (e.g. 1 + 9 = 19).
- A line cannot cross a cage, but may cross another line.

Very nice puzzle! Not as tricky as it first seemed. Wasn't sure if 0X was a valid sum or not, but that became clear quickly enough. Thank you!

Seems I underestimated the difficulty.

@SHERAX (answer to your hidden comment) : your first mentioned sum is incorrect (probably just a counting error ?). Maybe this can help you find your initial error ?
@M.K. : hard but interesting variant. In fact just the 0-9 coupled with whisper lines makes it quite hard to reason with. But there are some very cool logic bits in the solve path. Thanks for the puzzle !

Minor correction of the rules (renamed region into box as a region is irregular) and made the rules in the CTC app more compact so you don't have to scroll.
