Puzzlerium tour: TomTom (The Aftermath)

  


Rules: Fill in the square grid of side N, with digits 1 to N, one digit per cell, so that each digit appears exactly once in each row and column. The clue in each outlined cage indicates the result of a mathematical operation applied successively to each of the digits in the cage, starting from the largest to the smallest for division and subtraction. The operation may or may not be given in the cage, but at least one of the four operations must apply. Digits can repeat within a cage.

An unfortunate event erased one digit off of each clue. Information about which place the digit was in is not given, but the digits that are still standing remain in the same relative positions. For example, a '24' cannot be restored to 420 or 204. So, all the given numbers as seen are remnants of multi-digit numbers. Restore each clue and solve the resulting TomTom puzzle.

About: This variant was invented by Anurag Sahay in 2021 and debuts today.
