Normal 6x6 sudoku rules apply; i.e. fill every cell (within the main grid) with a digit from 1-6 such that digits do not repeat in a row, column or 3x2 box. The external cells on the left are for reference purposes.
Cipher: The letters A, I, M, B, O, T represent different digits.
Little Killer: Digits along an indicated diagonal sum to the given total. If the given total is two letters, the first letter represents the 'tens' digit, and the second represents the 'units' digit.
TIMOTAB Line: The digits along the red, white and blue line are represented by the letters TIMOTAB in order. The direction is to be determined.
Solution code: Row 1 (top) of the main grid, left to right (6 digits)

I really liked this one, especially the deduction for the TIMOTAB line's direction. Figuring out the rest was a bit more involved. Felt harder than 2/5 for me. (132min)

Lovely stuff. Don't overthink, future solver! If you hit a snag, do not fret; you need to have some sensible thoughts in a sensible order (and once you see it's glaringly obvious).

this was very nice indeed, but I found it a bit harder than other 2 star puzzles!
