Normal Sudoku rules apply.
Killer Sudoku rules apply. Digits sum to the digit in the cage. Digits can not repeat.
Sandwich Sudoku rules apply. Clues outside the grid are the sum of the digits sandwiched between 1 and 9 on that row.
Digits shown in cells that are not part of a cage are the sum of all the cells surrounding that cell.

Cane_Puzzles drew my attention to this puzzle after I posted a puzzle with a similar clue type today.
That was a really smooth and enjoyable solving path. Thank you for this nice puzzle!

This was super fun!! I've been playing with a similar concept with larger cages, and it's cool to see how you handled it.

"This is a very easy start; I'll just place these ones...oh right, the title."
I'm not sure I agree with the 3 star rating. I felt it was simpler than most 3 star puzzles. Nonetheless, it was "very nice" and I really enjoyed it :)
~Thank you cam. I put it online as a 2 star puzzle, which it is. I was kinda surprised to see it get 3 stars as well, but with the flood of puzzles appearing, there is probably a flood of lesser skilled solvers appearing simultaneously, to whom this may seem as a 3 star puzzle, which is fine to me, but I have stood in this same trap when solving other people's puzzles.

Very nice puzzle, approachable with regards to the logic, but still taking some time to finish. I laughed at myself when I tried filling in the 1s, and quickly understood the title...
~exactly what I was aiming for :)

Very nice puzzle

Amazing puzzle and the title is really fun! One thing you could do is change the text of the given totals (color or angle for example) because they look exactly like pencil marks, unless that's intentional just to mess with your solver's head!
~Thanks! But yeah, it was intentional :)
