Japanese Sums #1: Vanilla
(Published on 19. April 2023, 16:00 by Myxo)
This series of Japanese Sum puzzles on 10x10-grids is meant to be challenging, but not brutal. This first entry is a classic Japanese Sums with no extra rules. Enjoy!
Rules:
Shade some cells of the grid and fill all unshaded cells with digits from 1-9, such that no digit repeats in any row or column.
Clues outside the grid indicate the sums of contiguous segments of unshaded cells in that row or column. There must be at least one shaded cell seperating two segments. All such sums are given and in the correct order.
?s stand for any digit 0-9, but double digit numbers may not start with a zero.
Solution code: row 4 and column 9, S for shaded cells

This marks the beginning (*) of my adventure through this series! We're starting with an easy one, I see. I'm giving it three stars for difficulty, but I do that for a third of supposedly five-star puzzles anyway, so.
(*) LMD seems to have registered my solve of "Balance" in June of last year, but I have no recollection of doing so. I also seem to have given it three stars, and there is a comment further down from filuta saying that its ending is "brutal", which might say something about the accuracy of my difficulty ratings.

Darf denn ein einstelliger Hinweis ? auch Null sein?
---
Nein, zumindest nicht in diesem Rätsel, weil 0 als Summe nicht möglich ist.

Lots of fun, the most annoying part is to write the solution code in :D
