Outside Sandwiches
(Published on 25. May 2024, 12:46 by RockyRoer)
The Rules:
- Normal sudoku rules apply.
- [Sandwich] Numbers outside the grid - many of which need to be deduced are the sum of the digits sandwiched between the 1 and the 9 in that row or column.
- [Outside clues] The digits in the numbers outside of the grid must also be placed in the first three cells from the direction of the clue. For example, in row 3, the 2 and 8 must be placed somewhere in R3C1, R3C2 or R3C3.
- The clues marked odd or even must be odd or even numbers that satisfy both the sandwich constraint and the outside clues constraint. The ? can be any one or two digit number that satisfies both constraints. A clue like 11, 22, or 33 could be possible if a 1, 2, or 3 appears in the first three cells.
The Puzzle:
Try it on Sven's Sudokupad (with solution)
Solution code: The value of the ?, followed by row 5 [10 or 11 digits]

Interesting solve. I think there's an error in the solution code.
