Nearly two hours to solve, and had to backtrack a few times, but an awesome puzzle!

Loved the puzzle! Only complaint is having to type in a 41+ digit solution code. I don't think even a quantum computer could crack that code :p

Fantastic puzzle! Beautiful logic from start to finish. The final solution looks magical. And it was surprisingly smooth once I figured out how to start.

What an incredible puzzle. Every step is very inventive but none are too difficult. I don't know how you do this!

Incredible puzzle. It took me about 2 hours and I could not tear myself away, which is unusual for me. Everything else in life became irrelevant. Had a scare at the end when I entered the wrong solution code. Thank you Magnus.

A wonderful way to spend an hour this evening

This puzzle is exactly what is says, a Sudoku inside a Fillomino. Nothing too clever or advanced, but hopefully an enjoyable solve. Let me know if you need a hint or get stuck, I'll be happy to help!
