Rank Up 20.sotehr - Full Into Step
(Eingestellt Gestern, 18:45 Uhr von Sotehr)
Full Rank: Every row represents two five digit numbers when read from the right to the left and vice versa, and every column represents two five digits numbers when read from the top to the bottom and vice versa. A clue outside the grid represents the rank of that five digit number, where the lowest rank is 1 and the highest rank is 20. If two ranks are tied then they share the lowest rank available to them.
Periodic Sums: A clue outside the grid indicates the sum of N and every Nth digit in the row or column, where N is the digit in the first cell seen from the clue.
NOTES
Lösungscode: The row or column that is rank 5.

I think your current wording does not quite capture your desired meaning. Taking @Pairot’s example of N=3, the digit you want is not the third but the third one after the first cell, i.e. the fourth cell. Of course, if N=2, then you are looking for the sum of the first, the third and the fifth cells (and that might be a better example to give).
Personally, I don’t much care for expressions like “position N+1” (and that is even with degrees in mathematics!).
Anyway, a fun puzzle. It didn’t take me as long as a typical 1* puzzle, but I still felt it had two stars' worth of brain bending. Thanks!

I'm confused about the periodic sums rule. What would "every Nth digit" mean? For example, if N was 3, does that mean you sum the 1st and 4th digits, or the 1st and 3rd digits? I don't think it's clear.
- Your first interpretation is correct. I suppose I could update the wording to be: "A clue outside the grid indicates the sum of N and every position N + 1 in the row or column, where N is the digit in the first cell seen from the clue."
Or something like that. I'll have to think on it. - Sotehr
