ziggymole Daily subscriber Rated puzzle: Hard Completion time: 34:36 Used 'valid marks' Used 'auto remove' Used 'show invalid' Used 'check puzzle' when incorrect
After going through all the clues and removing all invalid numbers I still couldn't find a place to start with this puzzle and ended up guessing. Very difficult!

I had some problem too, ziggymole, until I realised, that since in brown/yellow twelve had to contain 1 and 2, also in yellow 3=1+2, then 1 and 2 had to be in the odd cells in the pink region and since the rest of the pink region totalled 37, then these 3 had to be 1,2 and 5. With the 7=1+2+4 just below I was able to fix these three. Then I was able gradually to move out from there. Probably other ways of starting but that was what I came up with. Hope this makes sense, difficult to describe!:)

Key
A yellow/light blue highlight in the time distribution charts highlights your time, where relevant.
Rating scores out of 10.0 show the average difficulty rating chosen by users, where 1.0 is "Easy" and 10.0 is "Hard".
If a puzzle is opened more than once, including by loading from a saved position, then this is potentially a significant aid so it is listed as being completed with 'multiple sessions' for the purpose of the best time/average rating displays above.
Minor aid is defined as no more than one use of 'Check solution' when incomplete and/or no more than one use of 'Check solution' when wrong; and/or using highlighting aids (show repeated digits, show broken inequalities and show valid/invalid placements [slitherlink] only). Major aid is any and all other use of the solving aids except for 'show wrong'.
