XVK Region Sum Lines
(Published on 1. January 2023, 17:03 by PDN777)
Normal sudoku rules apply. (Standard region sum line, kropki, and XV rules apply [no negative constraints].) The digits along a blue region sum line must have the same sum in each 3x3 box entered by the line. Neighboring digits marked with a white Kropki dot are consecutive. Neighboring digits marked with a black Kropki dot have a 2 to 1 ratio. Neighboring digits marked with V sum to 5. Neighboring digits marked with X sum to 10. Not all dots or Vs or Xs are given. I think this puzzle is 2 stars out of 5 for difficulty for many solvers. As always, comments welcome. Thanks!

Enjoyed this one! Thanks so much. Glad I found these, cause the youtube CTC feature puzzles are usually too hard and their GAS puzzles are getting too easy. This is about right for me. Thank!

Around 40 minutes for me with some undoing. But enjoyed it.

This was a bit tougher than 1 star for me, I ended up doing a restart :/
The second time was smoother
