Not enough logic, too many guesses and solutions. Many numbers that could be reversed (eg. 4-5 and 5-4) where either would have been correct but only one solution. There were at least 3 of these in this puzzle.

Hi Kimbers, I managed it entirely with logic. Don't forget if there isn't a mark (x or v) then the neighbours can't add up to 5 or 10.

I thought that 2 groups of 4 and 5 could have been correct either way

Penelope, those last two sets of 4/5, there was a 6 on the left hand side of the bottom left one :)

Enjoyable and challenging, especially without using aids. Yes, there is only one solution if you stick to the rules!

Very nice! i like how this one really uses the 'reverse rule' a lot throughout :)

Was struggling - until I remembered the inverse rule - then flew through it

Kimber37, maybe the secret is not use many aids, help to understand what are the possible digits and what not are, adding you manually the marks. For example i only put a digit mark if this digit is only possible in two squares of the same sector, row or column.

Sorry for my english.
