Multipliers
(Published on 26. November 2022, 01:22 by Scruffamudda)
Normal sudoku rules apply: Place each of the digits from 1 to 9 exactly once in every row, column and box.
Additionally each cell contains a multiplier from the digits 1 to 9. Each multiplier from 1 to 9 must be placed exactly once in every row, column and box.
Given cage totals show the combined value of all cells within a cage. The value of each cell is equal to the digit placed in the cell multiplied by the multiplier placed in the cell.
Solution code: All 9 multipliers in column 8, top to bottom.

Cool puzzle idea! 2/5 difficulty for me on the logic. The real difficulty was pencil marking, which doesn't work well in the provided links. Penpa with dual grids for entering digits and multipliers would be friendlier to the solver.

Thanks for the feedback. Other solvers have struggled with pencil marking this puzzle. I just checked out penpa but having never used it before I was unable to even create a sudoku grid! I'll look into it again if I release another puzzle in this style.
