For this Sudoku Variants Project I have planned to publish a unique Sudoku variant every week.
Product-sum-lines
Inspiration for this type comes from RockyRoer.
Solve online in Sudokupad.
I will see how long it takes before I am running out of ideas.
Apply classic sudoku rules.
Each line connects two circles/pills. The sum of all digits on a line is represented by one of those circles/pills, and the product of all digits on the same line is represented by the other circle/pill. Numbers in pills are read from left to right. Digits may be repeated on lines and in circles/pills.
Solution code: Column 2

Thank you very much for creating and sharing another fantastic SVS-puzzle. You can get a few easy digits rather quickly, but later on I got stuck for a while. Trickier than 2*, at least for me …

My 10000th solve could only be a Richard's puzzle
