Mini Sandthermowich

Normal Sudoku and Sandwich Thermo Rules Apply
Question marks outside the grid are Sandwich clues showing the sum of the digits between 1 and 6. They are positive integers (not 0) and either single digits (?) or double digits clues(??). Clued sandwiches make a valid thermo with their crusts and digits, seen from the direction of the clue. All possible ? are given (rows and columns without a clue will either be 0, or won't have a sandthermowich (1436)).

May ?? be 10?
~ Sure, just not 0, but I see why you got confused. Sorry

Great puzzle when I finally grasped the concept. I did think that no ? meant a 0, thanks for the clarification on the ruleset.

I am confused about the rules. Does "All possible ? are given." mean that all rows without a ? have 1 and 6 adjacent? If so, the puzzle immediately breaks for me.
~ Sorry for the confusion. Rows or columns without a question mark will either have indeed a 1 and 6 next to each other, or the sandwich does not form a thermometer (1436)
~ Thank you for the explanation. That makes a lot of sense. I think it was the first line: "Question marks outside the grid are Sandwich clues..." that tripped me up. Changing Sandwich to Santhermowhich I think would be the smallest fix that clears up the confusion. I do like that you added a full example especially since it is a 1 star difficulty puzzle. Thanks for the fun creation and prompt response :)

Nice bit of logic. The rules description in the f-puzzles/CTC links incorrectly say "1 and 9".
~ oh right, thanks!
