Less clues were given and several boxes were left without clue.
Plus - operations not defined added further problem
The final clue depended on various trial and error of middle nonet's set of 11.
56 were easy to remove in first attempt itself. 38 went a long way but that also collapsed, though I am not sure whether it really throw inconsistency, or I gave up.
but then 92 were easy because 9 present at other place already fixed the position of 2 and 9 and then it was within reach.
It was hard and was intentionally made hard by not giving sums of some more boxes.
Thanks.

Obasama Completion time: 8:47:33Used 'auto remove' Used 'show wrong moves'
Totally EXCELLENT puzzle from beginning to end!!!!!!
Enjoy the more difficult ones. Normally get there in the end. What would help me is a pause button which blanks out the grid & stops the clock while I answer the phone or deal with similar interruptions!

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'.
