Normal sudoku rules apply.
Digits in cages cannot repeat and must sum to the small corner total, where given.
Pairs of cages that share an edge must share a single digit.

Exquisite puzzle. Had to color until two cages were highly related. One had an extra digit and higher sum. Was able to deduce that extra digit as the difference in cage sums. Only took me 3 days of 4 plus hours a day.

Surprising in moments, and very hard

Thanks for ploughing through it! I appreciate your tenacity. This puzzle is much too hard really. I'm not sure I could solve it myself without looking at the notes!

Dürfen sich die Cages nur jeweils 1 Ziffer teilen oder auch mehr als 1?
- Only 1 digit. (Nur eine Ziffer.)

It was certainly a challenge, and I'm not sure I always followed the intended path. Thanks for setting it.

An interesting rule set with some cool logic. This was quite difficult, but felt very rewarding to finally solve.
- Thanks for solving (and for your help taming the original version.) Glad you liked it!
