Roman Thermo Somedoku
This is somedoku #12. Check out the rest of the puzzles in the somedoku series.
Rules:
Somedoku: Fill each cell with a digit from 1-9. Fill each row 'n' and column 'n' with exactly 'n' different digits, repeating digits as necessary.
Diagonal: Digits along the marked blue diagonal must not repeat.
Even: Cells with a grey square contain even digits.
Thermo: The digits along a grey thermometer must strictly increase from the bulb to the tip.
Roman Sum Lines: Red lines are divided into 2-cell segments. The sum of the digits in each segment must be one of 5 (V), 10 (X), or 15 (XV). A segment sum cannot repeat on the same line.
This puzzle uses a slightly modified version of the Roman Sum Lines constraint created by StartUp21. I made this puzzle for a Scojo setting prompt that asked us to build a puzzle in our signature style. I hope you enjoy it, if you do please leave a rating and a comment below!
Solution code: Row 8

Can someone please re-explain the rule "A segment sum cannot repeat on the same line" for me.
----------
bjf: You have to cycle through all of the different segment sums. So if you have a 6 cell line, you have to have a segment that sums to 5, a segment that sums to 10, and a segment that sums to 15. You can't have two 15's and a 10 for example.
