Scarab
Normal Sudoku rules apply.
X-Sums: Clues outside the grid represent the total of the first X digits in that direction, with X being the digit in the first seen cell.
Killer: Digits in a cage cannot repeat and must sum to the given total.
Solution code: Column 5

Very nice. Even better when I remember to use all of the clues!

Starts slow, but ends fast. I did waste a bit of time trying to be too clever for my own good with some interaction between the pair of 20 x-sums and the nearby 22-cage. Pretty nice!

A fun puzzle in just under half an hour, but had to rely heavily on the killer cage possibility calculator, don't know how long it would have taken me otherwise.
