Operation Arrows

(Published on 17. January 2021, 16:25 by EliasKar)

1) Normal Sudoku rules apply.

2) Each white circle uses one of the four mathematical operations on the two digits along its arrow(s) in some order and contains the result. Two such circles that see each other (aka are in the same row, column or 3x3 box) cannot use the same operation to calculate their result.

3) The cell with the grey circle must contain an odd number and the cell with the grey square must contain an even number.

Great puzzle! Only became aware of it due to the easier version that was posted today.

@Thank you! That was the purpose of the easier one :) Also, judging from the time difference between the two solves, you did an amazing job at this one!
