A Mathematical Phenomenon
(Published on 4. September 2022, 22:22 by Xenonetix)
- Normal Sudoku rules apply.
- Unknown X-Sums clues surround the grid.
- X-Sums clues indicate the sum of the first X seen digits in their respective row or column, where X is the first seen digit.
- White dots fall in between consecutive X-Sums clues.
- Black dots fall in between X-Sums clues at a 1:2 ratio.
Here's a suggested way of marking outside numbers on CTC & F-Puzzles:
Hope you enjoy the puzzle! Any feedback or comments welcome!
Solution code: Row 0 (outside numbers, left to right, no spaces)

Great puzzle! I'd agree with philb though, definitely easier than 5* for me.

Amazing minimalist construction that still lends itself to a smooth, interesting solve path. Thanks Xeno!

Lovely puzzle, but nowhere near a 5 for me.

Very nice! Now I'll go watch CTC to see how Mark solved it so much faster than I did.
For a slightly easier puzzle with almost the same rules, see my Kropki'd X-sums sudoku: https://logic-masters.de/Raetselportal/Raetsel/zeigen.php?id=0004ND

Pretty incredible. Sums aren't my strong suit, but the arrangement of clues means it's fairly easy to see where to look next, which is good for an otherwise sticky puzzle.

Great puzzle. Took ages, then suddenly spotted a key move after taking a break. Beautiful.
