Framing In The Park
(Published on 14. April 2023, 19:33 by Niverio)
Rules:
Sudoku: Place the digits 1-9 into each row, column and 3x3 box without repeats.
Numbers outside the grid are either Outside clues or Sum Frame clues:
Outside: The digits given outside the grid have to appear in the first three cells of that row or column in the corresponding direction.
Sum Frame: Numbers outside the grid indicate the sum of the first three digits in the corresponding row or column.
No clue can be valid for both Outside and Sum Frame at the same time. If a 3 cell sequence satisfies the Sum Frame, they cannot satisfy Outside, and vice-versa.
Example: A 12 clue means either:
- The first 3 cells sum to 12, OR (not AND!)
- The first 3 cells contain the digits 1 AND 2. (Both need to be included, just one isn't enough.)

Beautiful !!
Another masterful ambiguity puzzle !
Loved the first deductions, and the very nice flow between the key deductions afterwards. Thanks !!

Very interesting concept and a great fun solve path from start to finish!
Quite trickier than I expected and there's also couple of weird deductions too, but that made the solve more attractive and satisfying for me x)

I really struggled with this one, but it was very satisfying to solve it step by step :-)
