Pentomino Loop

(Published on 25. November 2022, 16:00 by Blobz)

Normal sudoku rules apply.

The indicated 60-cell white region contains one each of the twelve standard pentominoes (no repeats by rotation or reflection).

The grey line loops through all twelve pentominoes. It passes through exactly 3 cells of a pentomino before visiting the next. The arrangement of pentominoes must be deduced.

Once placed, each pentomino behaves like a 5-cell killer cage: digits do not repeat and must sum to the appropriate value.

Each pentomino contains a clue where the first value is the sum of digits along the line, and the second value is the cage total.
