So bottom left canā€™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 4ā€¦ but 8 is below 5, not 4)

Also box 2 and 4 arenā€™t in the same row eitherā€¦
(I donā€™t know how else you would have put the 7 in row 2 in box 2ā€¦)

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

Oh, You missed that 4 canā€™t be in the first column in box 2. (Itā€™s above box 5, where you already put 4 in column 1.)

I see the issue now. I didnā€™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? Isnā€™t the question mark a 12?

Yes, my bad. I meant Column 5.

No, the two question mark has different values.

ā€¦thatā€™s evil.

It never said the ?s have the same valueā€¦

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

Even if it is 12

Box 6 in row 3 still canā€™t have 1, 2 or 3ā€¦ (which needs to happen with this X-sums, anyway. So it still canā€™t be box 6ā€¦)

You literally never need to know the sum of ? to solve the puzzle. (Itā€™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 itā€™s not evil, you just assumed a rule, which wasnā€™t presentā€¦
