Z-Sums Sudoku 3
(Published on 4. October 2020, 08:21 by Semax)
Standard Sudoku rules:
- Each row, column and 3x3 box has to contain each digit from 1 to 9 exactly once.
Z-Sums rules:
- Looking from outside into a row or column, the first digit in this direction is called X.
- Looking from outside into a row or column, the X-th digit in this direction is called Y.
- Looking from outside into a row or column, the Y-th digit in this direction is called Z.
- Numbers outside the grid indicate the sum of the first Z digits in the corresponding direction.
For clarification of the rules, it is recommended to solve the two parents
X-Sums Sudoku
and
Y-Sums Sudoku,
or the small sister
Z-Sums Sudoku first.

Tolle Serie, richtig schön konstruiert! Und ich finds gut, dass gleich ein paar davon hintereinanderkamen. Was spricht dagegen?

@cdwg2000: You are right, with the current flood of Sudokus, I should restrain myself. I haven't intended to make more than 3 of them anyways. So, this is my last Z-Sums puzzle. But I am not sure yet, if I will go back to my usual 2 puzzles per year or not.
