(Published on 24. March 2020, 14:56 by kuhlde1337)
Normal sudoku rules apply. This is a variant of sandwich sudoku where the clues are written in a number base equal to the number of digits between the 1 and 9 in the corresponding row or column. For example, the digits in the image below show a clue that would be given in a normal sandwich sudoku:
The sum of 14 can be broken down in its base 10 components as follows:
Since there are 3 digits between the 1 and 9 in the example, the clue would be given in base 3. The base 3 breakdown is the following:
For more information on number bases, this website has some nice examples and explanations.
Also, because it may not be obvious, base 1 numbers are represented as a sequence of ones, e.g., 6(base10) = 111111(base1).
Solution code: columns 3 and 8

On possibility is to edit the hidden comment of the question with the answer. As the puzzle author, you can edit each comment and the user can see his own hidden comments, even if he didn't solve the puzzle.

Sorry, I am still getting used to how this site works. I answered with a hidden comment, but I realized you may not be able to see it if you haven't completed the puzzle. The cells you have listed so far seem correct to me. What was the contradiction you found?
