Sandwich Sudoku - Find x!!!! Part 4

(Published on 31. May 2020, 00:45 by ProwlingTiger)

First, don't be intimidated by all the sandwich clues. No algebra is necessary at all! Second, I am extraordinarily proud of this puzzle; as of now, I believe the logic required is one-of-a-kind. If this puzzle is too difficult, I will consider making an easier version or providing hints. Please let me know what you think! Enjoy!

Normal sudoku rules apply. Numbers on the outside of the grid represent sandwich clues - the number is the sum of all the digits between the 1 and 9 in that row or column. Sandwich clues with the slash represent "or". So a 5/10 clue would mean the sum is either 5 or 10. The 39-arrow represents the sum of the digits along the indicated diagonal.

Solution code: Row 5, then row 8, with nothing separating the digits. For example, 123456789231564897.

I found it hard to believe that I missed this one after more than a year, and it's really worth it to give this one a try. Very original logic and sensational ideas that were executed in such a delicate and intricate way.
I have to thanks DiMono for helping me in later parts of the solve and I'm so proud to catch this original gem :)

Schöne Logik, jedoch nicht "einzigartig" ;-). Hat viel Spaß gemacht, danke!

Okay. Schelte angenommen.

Dem kann ich mich nur voll anschließen.

@Ragna: Ich finde Deinen Kommentar deplatziert. Das Rätselportal ist für jeden und jede gemacht, die gerne Rätsel erstellen und lösen. Es lebt von beiden Gruppen. Ich würde hier auch niemandem vorwerfen, wenn er/sie nur Rätsel löst und keine selbst einstellt, auch Dir nicht (wobei sich schon die Frage stellt, was weniger "respektvoll" ist). Also bitte "Leben und leben lassen". Wir alle hier haben was davon, wenn schöne Rätsel eingestellt werden. Und ein Rätselportal ist naturgemäß mehr auf ErstellerInnen angewiesen als auf LöserInnen.

@0123coolkid: The number x+1 goes into that cell. So if x=8, then 9 would go in that cell.

@Ragna: I apologize if it seems disrespectful. In my defense, I do as many Cracking the Cryptic puzzles as I can, many of which are from this website; that being said, I didn't realize my lack of submissions on this platform was insulting to others. I will do my best to correct that statistic then!

Bei der momentanen Flut von tollen Sudukos schaue ich neuerdings auf die Autoren.
Du, ProwlingTiger, hast genau 1 Rätsel aus dem Portal gelöst, aber 13 Rätsel eingestellt. Was ja auch schön ist.
Aber so viel Desinteresse an den Rätseln anderer Autoren hier im Portal finde ich respektlos und brüskierend.

What does the “x+1” mean in the center?
