Sudoku Variants Series (097) - Magic Summer Sudoku

(Published on 6. October 2015, 00:00 by Richard)

For this Sudoku Variants Project I have planned to publish a different Sudoku variant every Tuesday. I will see how long it takes before I am running out of ideas.

Magic Summer
Place the digits 1 to 6 in each row, column and 3x3-block. The other cells remain empty. The digits in the grid that connect with horizontally and vertically adjacent digits form multi-digit numbers. Clues outside the grid indicate the sum of the numbers appearing in the respective rows and columns, where empty cells separate numbers. (Row 1 could be --25-6431 for example.)

Solve online in F-Puzzles (thx bbutrosghali!)

Solution code: Row 1, followed by column 9 (- for empty cells)

This was very hard for me too... I found another break in than the one mentioned in previous comments. Columns 3 (R9C3<>5), 4 (R9C4<>3) and 5 (R9C5<>3) force the 5-digits number of row 9 to start in column 4 (R9C4=5). I couldn't do it in Sudokupad and had to use pen and paper.

Thanks for the nice comment!
BTW and off the record: I guess you have overlooked SVS #387 so far? ;-)

@Richard: I found it soon after solving this one. Thanks; it's a good one!
