I like to thank NEWS, Calvinball, MaizeGator and Palyfly Kampling for testing and thank Scojo, Hatgurl and Ratfinkz for organizing this amazing event. I wish you joyful solving!
Rules:
- Normal sudoku rules apply, i.e. each row, column, and 3x3 region has to contain the digits from 1 to 9 once each.
- Region Sum Lines: Box borders divide the blue lines into segments with the same sum. (Different lines may have different sums.)
- Up to N-sums: A clue outside the Row or Column N indicates the sum of all digits up to the cell that contains the digit N. (The digit N itself is not included in the sum.)
Here you can solve the puzzle online:
Solution code: Row 4 from left to right (9 digits in total)

Nice one! This is one of those puzzles where it seems like there's nowhere near enough information to solve it, but it just turns out to be enough.

Thank you for your comment, mscha! I am glad that you enjoyed the puzzle. I think I understand your experience. Some of the clues might have more impact than they initially appear to have.
Kind regards, sujoyku

Up-to-N ist natürlich verräterisch, doch könnte das eben deshalb auch ein Betrüger benutzen. Gut, dass ich nicht raten musste. Stattdessen durfte ich einfach beide Aufgaben in vollen Zügen genießen. Vielen Dank dafür!

Really enjoyable logic, though my brain was fighting me for the first 10 minutes until I read the rules correctly. Found initial breakin straightforward, but then got stumped for a while. Such a satisfying hump to overcome, though! Thanks for a great puzzle!!

翻译中文，然后看不懂，规则看不懂，这题目确实很难做了，完全不懂数字提示的规则…
