Author's note: After solving the excellent Build Your Own Sloop by Piatato and noticing how few tripleblocks there were on the site, I decided to create my own version —— with a twist. Beware of the math!
Solve online (No answer check): Penpa Sudokupad
Rules:
Example: Here is a more detailed example. In column 3, the first segment has no digit, so the sum is 0. The second segment 12=3*2^2. In row 5, the first segment 70=7*2^2+8+4*2+1*2+6*2^2 and the second segment 80=5*2^4.
Enjoy!
Lösungscode: Row 2, using S for shaded cells.

Devilish indeed ! But doable once you get the right thoughts about how the math works here. Enjoyed it a lot! Thanks :)

Great challenge, for finding the values of each letter, for finding the shaded cells and for finding the sums of each block. Thanks
