I shot the Sheriff (but I did not kill the Entropy)

- Normal sudoku rules apply, i.e. each row, column and 3x3 region has to contain the digits from 1 to 9 once each.
- Killer cages: Digits in a cage must sum to the clue in the top left.
- Entropy line: Each set of three consecutive digits on the orange line has to contain a low (1, 2 or 3), a medium (4, 5 and 6) and a high digit (7, 8 or 9).
Here you can solve the puzzle online:
Solution code: Row 6 from left to right (9 digits in total)

Thank you for a very nice and enjoyable puzzle!
And please let me share a little secret here (which I share only ..., you know):
One can almost double the enjoyment by reading the killer cage in r3 as a 13 in a moment of brain freeze. It leads to a very smooth and enjoyable solve, except for a little deadly pattern right at the end ...

You are much welcome, Nostor, thank you for your comment! I am glad that you liked the puzzle. I can relate with what you tell about confusing that cage total. Not long ago, I tried to solve a puzzle with the interesting conviction that 1+4+8 equals 12 (spoiler: I had to rewind very much). I hope you had fun anyways.
Kind regards, sujoyku

I'm going to have to speak with the sheriff because this being at 82% quality at the time of my solve seems criminally low for how nice the puzzle was.
