Rules:
- Normal sudoku rules apply.
- Little killers: Digits along diagonals indicated by arrows outside the grid must sum to the given number at that arrow. Digits may repeat along a diagonal.
- Arrows: Digits along an arrow in the grid must sum to the digit in its circle. Digits may repeat along an arrow.
Your comments, feedback and ratings are welcomed and appreciated.
Enjoy!
If you get stuck or need a hint, just post a hidden comment and I can give you a nudge in the right direction.
Hint:
step 1: investigate the options for the arrow circles, and think how they can be distributed around box 5 (Phistomefel ring).
Step 2: think about how the arrows restrict the position of some digits and how they affect other clues.
Solution code: Column 2 Row 8

What in the heaven is that opening sequence...
Straight up to my favorite of all-time list, that's absolutely astounding and intricate solve path, some of the logic felt too clever for me to even comprehend :O

#EDIT: Remembered Qodec recommending this, but that was the Gliperal impossible sandwich. You ofc recommended this yourself, and I am glad you did :)
