So bottom left can’t be box 6 either.

Also, you put the 47 pair in box 8 in the wrong order.

(I guess you thought it was below box 4… but 8 is below 5, not 4)

Also box 2 and 4 aren’t in the same row either…
(I don’t know how else you would have put the 7 in row 2 in box 2…)

(It should be ā€œsimpleā€ sudoku, if you have basic spatial awareness…)

Oh, You missed that 4 can’t be in the first column in box 2. (It’s above box 5, where you already put 4 in column 1.)

I see the issue now. I didn’t notice that Box 5 has 3 in 8th position (i.e., c5r6), so I thought the missing pairs in Row 5 was 3-4.

You mean column 5?

Wdym? Isn’t the question mark a 12?

Yes, my bad. I meant Column 5.

No, the two question mark has different values.

…that’s evil.

It never said the ?s have the same value…

The rule even says ? sums. (In plural) meaning it’s clearly two different intenses of sums… (which can be equal, but unless it is stated those have to be the same sum, you should never assume it’s true in this kind of puzzles.)

Even if it is 12

Box 6 in row 3 still can’t have 1, 2 or 3… (which needs to happen with this X-sums, anyway. So it still can’t be box 6…)

You literally never need to know the sum of ? to solve the puzzle. (It’s only function to restarin the cell next to it.)

The only reason I know it has different values, because I solved the puzzle, and it has different values in the solved state.

So it’s not evil, you just assumed a rule, which wasn’t present…
