Rules:
- Normal sudoku rules apply: Place the digits 1-9 exactly once each in every row, column, and 3x3 box.
- Digits in a cage sum to the total in the top left corner of the cage. Any other instances of a digit inside the cage that are outside but orthogonally adjacent to the cage are also included in the cage sum.
Example:
This is a valid cage fill since the 1's and 2's outside but orthogonally adjacent to the cage also contribute to the sum of 1+2+3+1+1+2=10.
Puzzle:
Solution code: Row 9
