Sudoku #90
(Published on 20. March 2022, 15:50 by PDN777)
Normal sudoku rules apply. Digits must not repeat on the main diagonals. Digits in a quadruple circle must appear in the surrounding cells. Numbers outside the grid indicate the sum of the digits on their indicated diagonal. Digits on these diagonals may repeat when otherwise allowed. Digits in a cage must sum to the little number in the upper left, and may not repeat in the cage. Note for clarity: the killer cage in Box 1 sums to 9. I think this puzzle is 2 stars out of 5 for difficulty for many solvers. As always, comments welcome!
I'm happy to report BremSter solved this puzzle!

Made this hard on myself by not using all of the constraints, very nicely done.
** I'm glad you made it thru! :-)

Row 2 Colum 3 The killer clue is covered by the 9 in the circle.
What number is there?
** Hi @Sherax. It's a 9-cage. In my defense, I did mention it in the rules. ;-) Good luck! :-)
