X-clusivity

Rules
- Normal sudoku rules apply.
- Each line consists of one or more non-overlapping groups of consecutive cells, each of which sums to 10.
- No two of these groups may have the same fill (including permutations), even if they are on different lines. For example, if one line had a group with digits 1315, and another line had a group with digits 5113, this would be invalid.
Solution code: Row 2

The step for the final disambiguation (or at least what I left til the end) was quite unique. Absolutely beautiful puzzle

I think I found the right way to look at these constraints pretty quickly, but still took me a while to fully wrap my head around it. Really elegant!

great puzzle! the break-in took some time but was logical and surprising.

I found that much more difficult than other commenters here, taking me nearly two hours of on-and-off prodding to finally get it to reveal its secrets. Nevertheless, I agree that it's very clever setting. The parts of the puzzle that look constrained are not the break-in, at least not based on my expectations.

Spent ages working out all the possible combinations. It then fell nicely into place and only 11 minutes to solve. Fantastic puzzle. Thank you for sharing.
