If you haven't seen this rule before you might like to try this one first:
Shifted X-sums 2
If you like these puzzles and you'd like to try a fully encrypted version, check out this one:
Happy Halloween
Rules:
Normal sudoku rules apply.
Clues outside the grid indicate the sum of the first X digits from the Nth cell from that side, where X is the digit in the Nth cell and N is the digit in the first cell from that side.
Example: in a row with 514839762 the clue from the left would be 19 (3+9+7) and from the right would be 37 (6+7+9+3+8+4).
One of these clues has been partially encrypted. The 3X clue means that that clue is thirty + the digit in r7c1.
Purple renban lines contain a set of consecutive digits in any order.
Have fun!
Solution code: row 4, column 4

This one took me forever in different stages. The opening digits were quite obvious but finding the the combination of clues that really helped me further took veeeery long. Very clever puzzle from you again! Thx.

Fascinating puzzle. Brilliantly designed. You nearly had my favorite ever solution code. I thought it was just the 1 cell in row 4 col 4 :)
--Thanks! Haha no, it's the full rows as usual ;)
