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!
Solution code: Row 2, using S for shaded cells.

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

At some point you feel that you have worked it all out, but the author comes up and says “Way to go, buddy!” :)
Very nice puzzle, definitely worth solving.
