Don't look outside the tetris
(Published on 8. July 2022, 18:15 by wildhound007)
Rules: Normal sudoku rules apply. Digits separated by a knight's move in chess cannot contain the same digit. In cages, digits sum to the total in the top left corner, it is up to the solver to determine whether digits repeat within a cage. Digits on a arrow sum to the digit in the circle. Clues outside the grid are sandwich clues, however the numbers given are wrogn. (e.g. If there is a 4 clue outside column 3, then the digits between the 1 and 9 may not sum to 4)
Happy Solving !!!
Solution code: Row 5 followed by Column 9 (no spaces, 18 digits)

The start was very nice.

I don't think the ambiguity on whether cages can repeat digits is beneficial to the puzzle. Unless I missed something, which is entirely possible, ruling one of the options out involved a really long chain and wasn't fun.
Other than that it was a decent puzzle.

@banksy. Yes. The clue that is assigned to a specific row/column only applies to it.
Hope it answers your question?

The sandwich clue for a given row/column has to be from out of the 3 given clues, or can it be another number altogether ?
@wildhound007 : Thanks for your response.

@Schwupel Yes it is. The 1st 4 rows are a fully completed tetris grid with no spaces.

There is a killer cage with no given digit in box 7. Is this intended for aesthetics?
Since there is absolutly no value to gain from it
