Untitled (Region-Sum Thermos + Doublers)
(Published on 25. October 2023, 18:10 by LittleNightmaresLady)
Rules:
-Normal sudoku rules apply.
-There are 9 cells, one in each row/column/box, which are doublers. For the purposes of the constraint, doublers double the value of a cell. Each digit from 1-9 is doubled exactly once.
-The blue lines with a bulb are region-sum thermos, where the sum of each segment of a line passing through boxes must strictly increase from the segment with the bulb. For example, r4c9 > r2c9+r3c9. To clarify, the r45c2 segment is a separate branch that sums to a total greater than the 5-cell bulb segment in box 1.

Very fun to solve this puzzle! I was not sure I solve it in a intended way, but I somehow get through this.

The intended break-in is quite a tough one, but I wouldn't be surprised if there was alternate path. I'm glad to hear that you got through it and enjoyed it!

It was a really fun and difficult puzzle. After a misinterpretation of the stub thermo in r3c1 (from b1 to b4) and a colossal thinking error, I was able to solve it. The beginning and the end were harder for me.

Thanks again for solving and feedback! Glad you had fun with it!

If anybody attempted this and got confused, the sum r45c2 segment is greater than the 5-cell segment in box 1.
