Missed the burger clue at first wondered why there was 3 solutions. Nice fun easy puzzle.

I liked this a lot! Had a bit of a struggle towards the end because I forgot about the "between 1 and 9" clue, but this was very fun! I'm not that well-versed in variant sudokus with no give digits, so this had a very nice balance between being challenging and enjoyable to solve!

Thank you for your kind words mothlight, a lot of people seem to be forgetting the sandwich sum clue so don't worry. :) Glad you enjoyed the puzzle.

I was watching the rotation of the earth. But after about 24 hours I got bored. So I called it a day. Thanks for the fun puzzle.
