Nice arithmetic exercise with a straight solution path. So I give two stars - at most. Thank you for sharing this puzzle.

Changing the caricature for a non copyrighted foto.
Suppressing the beginner tag.
Keeping ** evaluation.

Funny variant and indeed nothing hard about it, just a bit of easy and pleasant arithmetic around the grid. 2 star seems a fair estimate. Thanks :)
Note : careful with the picture here ! Although it is a very nice caricature of Lino Ventura, the text does clearly say the picture is protected by copyright lol. C'est du brutal ;)

Concerning the picture, "faut r'connaître" ... , I changed it

I found the first deduction almost instantly, then my brain got lost about 15 / 20 minutes before finding the real breakin. After that it was a smooth "mathematical" solve. I just made a few errors along the way, mostly because of intensive pencilmark, and had to undo a lot. Not hard, but more like a 3 stars for me, because it was really confusing. Still a very great puzzle, really fresh and different, loved it!

Thank you !
Yes this puzzle is like a walk in a forest. While you see the path it's ok, but if you deviate a little, you can be lost several minutes in a bush.

Delete of the "Sudoku" text Tag.

I think this puzzle is a really nice variant of a Sudoku.

Thank you Luigi !
What do you think of the difficulty ? ** or increase to *** ?

This puzzle is neither a Sudoku nor does it look like a true beginner puzzle (especially with your own estimate of 2 stars difficulty), please adjust your labels and tags accordingly to not confuse potential solvers.

Thank you for your comment. At first I didn't understood because I tagged "puzzle variant" but there was indeed a other text Tag "Sudoku". I deleted it.
As for the difficulty, I will wait a little for more feedbacks. It definitivly has a scary look (and I like that), but a lot scarier that it is, I think it is affordable by anyone who is not afraid of math.
