- Normal sudoku rules apply.
- Remote Sums : A digit X in a cage points to a second digit Y located X cells away on its line. The number in the top left corner of the cage gives the sum of X+Y. (A cage is allowed to point to an outside clue)
- Rooftops (Skyscraper hybrid) : Each digit in the grid represents the height of a building in its cell. Taller buildings obstruct the view of shorter building's rooftops behind them.
- Clues outside the grid give the number of rooftops visible from the vantage point of the building in the first cell in the associated row or column. (not including itself)
- (ie - A building of height 6 can only see the rooftops of buildings at height 5 or lower)

Solution code: Row 7 followed by Column 7

Very nice, as usual Xeon - enjoyed testing this one.

Thanks for the thorough test on this one. Hopefully I can continue finding new and interesting logic with this constraint.

Spectacular. thanks.

Glad you enjoyed it. Appreciate the compliment and giving this one a try.

I enjoyed the rooftops constraint but strangely enough I do not seem to conquer the first puzzle made with this rule.
-----
It was made with the intention of the clues building upon each other for the most part to demonstrate how they interact. So if you look for that specifically, you may discover some things that may have been missed.
Maybe. I put it aside to retry later. Thanks for the many challenging puzzle s so far. :-)

I solved the puzzle with _this_ version, not with the sudokupad-version.

Thanks StefanSch, I have since corrected the link. Apologies for the oversight.

The top two givens are switched in the sudokupad link as compared to the image here ?

My apologies. You are absolutely correct. This was an oversight as I recreated the grid in Penpa. This has now been fixed.

Thanks for your response. No apologies needed. These things happen! :)
