Mean Mini: fill the grid with six different digits, selected from 1-9. The digits must be determined by the solver. Digits may not repeat in a row, column or 3x2 region.
X-sums: clues outside the grid show the sum of the first N digits in that row/column from the direction of the clue, where N is the first digit in that row/column.
X: digits separated by an X must sum to X (not necessarily 10).
X is a constant, to be found.
Solution code: Row 6 (bottom row), left to right

Lovely bite sized puzzle. Only issue I see is that it's quite a bit easier to solve experimentally than logically so requires some deliberate discipline.

So much logic packed into such a small, minimal grid!

Awesome puzzle! It’s cool how the placement of the clues really helps you narrow down the options for X quite quickly. Thanks!
