Originally published as part of Sudokuvania: Digits of Despair.
Rules:
Sudoku - Enter a digit from 1-9 into each cell without repeating in a row, column, or 3x3 box.
Digit sharing - Each cell's value for the purpose of clues is divided evenly among all clues that enter the cell. For example, if two lines intersect in a cell containing the digit 3, that cell has a value of 1.5 for each line. [The given 1 is not a clue.]
Ten lines - All lines are ten lines (the colors and thicknesses are for disambiguation of intersections); each line can be divided by cell borders into discrete segments that each sum to 10. Digits can repeat on lines or line segments if allowed by sudoku.

Solution code: The digits in row 8

I think I'm not understanding the digit sharing rule correctly. Imagine R8C7 is a 6. Does it contribute 3 to both lines, or 4 to the green line and 2 to the purple line?
So far, I've assumed the first possibility.

Lovely puzzle! Different from the other bosses in a way that forced me to come back later.

I am personally impressed by this puzzle, and it is my favorite among the nine boss battles.
