Find me on Discord for hints. If you enjoy the logic in this puzzle, you might enjoy my Twisted Sandwiches.
Rules: Normal sudoku rules apply.
Each clue outside the grid indicates, in no particular order, the sum of the even digits and the sum of the odd digits among the first X digits in the direction of the clue, where X is the first digit in that direction.
Example:
The clue on the left is "2 10" since among the first 3 digits from the left (3 2 and 7) the sum of the evens is 2 and the sum of the odds is 3+7=10. The clue on the right is "6 12" since among the first 4 digits from the right (4 5 8 and 1) the sum of the evens is 4+8=12 and the sum of the odds is 1+5=6.
Solution code: Row 5 (9 digits, left to right, no spaces)

Excellent. Took a moment to realise that the odd/even ordering wasn't set, but after that this was very cool.

What a weird use of the clues in col 4 xD
Anyway, a fun and lovely puzzle with some cool interactions :)
