Sudoku Variants Series (237) - Before 1 - After 9 Sudoku

(Published on 14. August 2018, 00:00 by Richard)

For this Sudoku Variants Project I have planned to publish a different Sudoku variant every second Tuesday. I will see how long it takes before I am running out of ideas.

Before 1 - After 9 Sudoku
Apply classic sudoku rules. Numbers outside the grid indicate the sum of all digits placed before the 1 (top/left clue) or after the 9 (bottom/right clue) in the respective row or column.

Inspiriation for this type comes from Sudoku GP 2014 Round 2, Serbia.

Solve online in Penpa+ (thanks glum_hippo!)

Solution code: Row 2, followed by column 3.
