Pick-up Sticks (Beige)

The brief

Normal sudoku rules apply.

A stick always has a lower total (the sum of its digits) than any stick which lies on top of it.

Digits don't repeat along a beige 'hitline' stick. The digit on a stick's blue circle indicates how many digits match their position number along that stick, starting from the end with the square (which is position 1.)

Eg: a stick reading 79325 would have its 2 circled, as the stick has two digits in their 'correct positions'; 3 is in the 3rd position and 5 is in the 5th position.
