X-sum rules apply.
Clues outside the grid indicate the sum of the first X digits in that row/column where X is the closest digit to the clue.

Smooth sailing until I made some illogical assumptions, then back on track. This was a puzzle I had to set down and come back to. Lots of fun!

I don’t know where I went wrong on my first try, but I found it quite tough and battled through until I found a solution that…was wrong.
Started over and luckily I’d figured out most of the tricky parts on my first go. My maths were better on the second and I found it a really rewarding solve. Great work, well done!

Thank you for this nice X-sum puzzle, dodomos!
@saskia-daniela: For me, the 26 clue worked out fine. So you might have really had an error that did not affect the solution code.

Is the clue '26' wrong, or did I just make a mistake that didn't affect the solution code?
