Rank Up 20.Marty - Hitlines
(Published today, 01:35 by marty_sears)
Rules:
Fill the 5x5 grid with the digits 1-5 so that digits don't repeat in a row or column. External cells can contain any number from 1-20.
FULL RANK: A number entered in an external cell represents the rank of the 5-digit number formed by reading the digits in that row or column from that direction, where (1) is the lowest 5-digit number and (20) is the highest. This puzzle does not have any tied ranks.
HITLINES: Numbers cannot repeat along a hitline. The small clue in the top-left corner of a square indicates the total of any numbers along its line that match their position number, reading along in order from the square end, which is position 1.
eg: If a hitline contained the numbers 13, 2, 1, 19, 5 in that order, then its clue would be 7 (the sum of 2 and 5, which are the only numbers on the line that match their position number; 2 is in the 2nd position and 5 is in the 5th position.)
Solution code: Row 1 of the grid from left to right (5 digits)

Whew!
This might be “accessible” if you've followed the Rank Up series, but definitely not for a Full Rank newbie like me!
But I've figured it out eventually. Very elegant puzzle.

Pretty good variety for such a small puzzle. I enjoyed that.

This should be in the full rank puzzle intro textbook. Very fun and approachable.

A really well constructed puzzle. Perhaps trickier than it looks?? Took me about 30min.

That‘s a nice, fitting and quite approachable entry iinto the series. In particular, I liked how much that one hitline managed to shape the solution. Thanks for sharing.
