Normal Sudoku rules apply. Digits in cages sum to the clue in the upper-left corner of the cage, and digits cannot repeat within cages. Cells separated by a V sum to five, and those separated by an X sum to ten. Not all Vs and Xs are necessarily given.
Enjoy!
Solution code: Row 6

This one looks like it should be easy, with all the given clues and symmetry ... but it kicked my butt. I restarted at least 5 times. I guess my problem was that I kept getting confused on my V pairs (trying to color them as pairs or individuals), thinking one set or the other was forced, when in fact it was not.
Wonderful puzzle though!
