Counting by Vs and Xs

(Published on 18. May 2022, 14:50 by Hrafnsvaengr)

Just a small trifle of a puzzle which turned out surprisingly well, for humble beginnings.

A link for the puzzle on f-puzzles can be found here and on Cracking the Cryptic here.

  • Normal sudoku rules apply.
  • Cells joined by an X sum to 10; those joined by a V sum to 5. Not all Xs or Vs are necessarily given.
  • Clues around the outside of the grid give the sum of the first X digits seen by the clue, where X is the first digit in that row or column.

Solution code: Row 8 followed by column 5 without commas or spaces.
