Cageless (X) Killer Sudoku
(Published on 13. March 2020, 17:26 by Shinya)
this is once again an experimental sudoku puzzle.
It's a killer sudoku with information on the different cages given in clues outside the grid.
Rules:
Standard sudoku rules apply. In addition, cells are grouped in 'cages'. A 'cage' is a group of orthogonally adjacent cells. Numbers must not repeat in a cage.
The clues outside the grid in the form of m(n) indicate, that the x-th cell of the row/column is part of a cage with the sum of m, consisting of n cells. X is the first number in the row/column. In the example below, the clue 7(2) indicates that the x-th cell (in this case: the 2nd cell) is part of a cage adding up to 7, consisting of 2 cells.
Have fun!
Solution code: Row 5, column 4

Incredible! I would not have believed it was possible but every time I discovered something it gave me a new clue somewhere else and finally I finished with a big smile.

Sehr spannend. Und wenn man sich einmal reingedacht hat gar nicht so schwer.

@Statistica
Die Frage kann man logisch beantworten. Ich hatte zwar ernsthaft überlegt, die Info mitzugeben und euch den Schritt zu ersparen, habe mich dann aber entschlossen, euch das selbst herausfinden zu lassen zu lassen.

Super!
@Statistica: Das habe ich mich anfangs auch gefragt, aber diese Info ist nicht wirklich nötig.

Kann es denn Ziffern/Käfige geben, die zu keinem Randhinweis "gehören"?

This was perhaps the most enjoyable sudoku I've solved in a long while! I kept smiling and smiling as I step for step kept finding the brilliant logic in this puzzle. :D
