Rules:
Normal sudoku rules apply.
Along an olive green line, there is exactly one cell (to be found) whose digit is greater than the sum of any other two cells on the line.
If a black dot sits between two digits, one is double the other.
Lösungscode: Column 9 reading downwards

Oof, that was hard!
Almost every day over the past week and a half I've been staring at this, trying to break into this.
Today I finally found something that got me started, and from then on I steadily made progress. An hour later it was finished.
Difficulty 3 stars? Y'all must be kidding me! (I suppose the people who vote are the ones that do manage to solve this relatively easily; it you don't solve it you can't vote.)
Marty: exactly - I think that is sound reasoning for why puzzles often get rated 'easier' than they feel. Well done for persisting and eventually cracking it - it is quite a tricky break-in!

How is this a 3-star? I have 10 digits in and am stuck for over 10 hours.

Thank you very much for creating and sharing this beautiful puzzle. So you gave the Professor’s line the ultimate color.

After the cheese puzzle I was thinking about how to expand the idea and I guess this is it :) excited to try it tonight
Marty: there's been quite a few puzzles with this ruleset already; it was invented by Dorlir. If you search for 'greatest' you will find more puzzles that use this line type, which Dorlir called the 'Greatest Line'

I'm very prone to breaking puzzles with this rule set, but I got there eventually. Some very cool interactions in there.

Great puzzle. Took a while to get my head around the constraint, but once it clicked, the puzzle had a flow.

Great break-in and a smooth solve from there on

That went very smoothly, the break in took me a little bit and afterwards it was a very nice, constant flow of entering digits. Thanks :)

Some really nice and new interactions here which I really like. Hope to see more puzzles with greater line and this puzzle is an example of that.
