Combines putteria, sandwich, and finding distinct primes sums -- what more could one ask for?
The Rules:
- [Sudoku] Normal sudoku rules apply.
- [Putteria Variant] Shade exactly two cells in every row, column, and 3x3 box such that:
- No shaded cells are orthogonally connected.
- There is only one shaded cell per killer cage
- The shaded cell contains the size of the killer cage.
- [Killer] Digits in killer cages cannot repeat.
- [Sandwich Variant] Question marks outside the grid indicate that the sum of the digits between the shaded cells in that row or column must be a distinct prime value (no repeats allowed)
Lösungscode: The row or column containing the smallest sandwich sum, clued or unclued, from left to right or top to bottom

Elegant & great fun, as always.
Maybe mention the solution code is the smallest of the sums, whether clued or unclued? I assumed it was smallest of the clued ones.
REPLY: Thanks for the solve! I've updated the solution code description.
