The Puzzle That Flummoxed The World's Best!

▶Today's Puzzles◀

Two puzzles today! The main puzzle is by Stefan Heine and was the final puzzle in the 2012 German Sudoku Championship. It defeated five of the finalists! You can play it here:

Rules:
Normal sudoku rules apply. The nine grey cells and each main diagonal must also contain the digits 1 to 9. Clues outside the grid give the sum of the digits along the indicated diagonal. Digits may repeat along these diagonals. Four cells touched by a red diamond must sum to an even number.
The second puzzle is by Akash Doulani and it's a sudoku he made to commemorate our milestone of reaching 300,000 subscribers - thank you everyone and thanks also to Akash!
