Sudoku: Within the main grid (inside the thick border), fill every cell with a digit from 1-5 such that digits do not repeat in a row or column.
Full Rank: A value in an external cell represents the rank of the number formed by reading the digits in that row or column from that direction, where (1) is the lowest such row or column and (20) is the highest.
Killer cages: Values in a cage MAY repeat, and sum to the given total.
N.B. If two ranks are tied, the value in both external cells is the lower of the two ranks being shared. For example, if the lowest four ranks are "12453", "13524", "13524" and "15432", the values in the relevant external cells would be (1), (2), (2) and (4) respectively.

Fun little puzzle. Easier than the first one, but still required a fair bit of thought.

Incredibly smooth! A bit of nuance to this one but this actually felt much, much easier than the first entry.
