Practise puzzle for LMI-sudoku test 'Copy Paste'

Logic Masters India hosts a sudoku contest every month. I had the honor to prepare the puzzles for the coming contest. It will be held from 7 till 9 July 2012. It will be called "Copy - Paste"; A set of 14 different sudoku variants. Almost all variants are published here in the portal earlier by me.

As always the case after making puzzles for a contest, I had a few unused puzzles and I would like to share them here in the portal. At the same time, I can make same extra advertisement for the contest. Participation is free, only a registration at LMI is necessary. You can solve the puzzles whenever you like in the weekend. After downloading the .pdf-file you have two hours time to submit your solutions. You can find the instruction booklet here.

This is one last practise puzzle for the test.

Equal Sudoku
Place the digits from 1 tot 9 in every row, column and 3x3-block. Within every dotted outlined area the sum of the odd digits is equal to the sum of the even digit(s). Digits may not repeat within a dotted outlined area.

Solution code: Row 7, followed by column 8.

HaSe is absolutely right. Hardly any hints inside areas and it was really fun to solve it.

@HaSe: In my opinion the puzzle in the real test is just as beautiful as this one. But in less than a day you can find it out yourself! Good luck!

Toll, mal wieder zu sehen, mit welch wenigen Vorgaben Du ein ästhetisch einwandfreies und löserfreundliches Sudoku hervorgebracht hast. Kann mir kaum vorstellen, dass das im Turnier benutzte Rätsel dieses Typs noch schöner ist. ;-)

@flaemmchen: good question, digits may not repeat. I copied the instructions from puzzle Equal II where this extra rule is redundant.

instructions slightly changed.

Dürfen sich Ziffern in den gestrichelten Gebieten wiederholen? Also in denen, die über einen 3x3-Block hinaus gehen.
