As always the case after making puzzles for a contest, I had a few unused puzzles and I would like to share them here in the portal. At the same time, I can make same extra advertisement for the contest. Participation is free, only a registration at LMI is necessary. You can solve the puzzles whenever you like in the weekend. After downloading the .pdf-file you have two hours time to submit your solutions. You can find the instruction booklet here.
Rank Killer
Place the digits from 1 to 9 in each row, column and 3x3-block. The small numbers in the upper left of the dotted outlined areas are the sum of the digits in that area. Within a dotted outlined area all digits must be different. A digit ‘X’ in a circle means that the digit in the cell is the X-th smallest number in the corresponding area.

Interessant mit den Ranking-Zahlen, hat mir nach kleinen "Start-Schwierigkeiten" besonders gut gefallen!

@flaemmchen: 1st is smallest, 4th the biggest in an area of size 4.

Eine Verständnisfrage: Ist in einem 4er-Gebiet die "4.-kleinste Zahl" die kleinste oder die grösste von allen vier Zahlen?
