Sandwich Spread
(Eingestellt am 5. November 2020, 10:00 Uhr von Mark Sweep)
Standard sudoku rules apply.
Sandwich clues outside the grid indicate the sum of digits sandwiched between the 1 and 9 in the respective row/column.
Cells marked with a V or X in between, sum to 5 or 10 respectively. W’s indicate either a V or X clue, which has to be determined. There is a negative constraint inside sandwiches, including their crusts (even when their sum is not given), but not outside of sandwiches. However, the solver can and must place exactly one more X and one more V clue in the grid inside the sandwiches.

Almost broke this several times, because I kept forgetting that there is an outside to the sandwiches. The "half" negative constraint is a neat idea. Wonderful puzzle! :)

@LongOrteil Yes, they can be placed in a sandwich. They even basically must be placed in the sandwich if you don't want to break the puzzle and there is not really a point in placing them outside of sandwiches, since the negative constraint does not apply there.

Can the extra X clue be placed inside a sandwich? Thx
