Magic Arrow

- Normal sudoku rules apply
- Shaded regions are clones (they must contain the same digits in the same positions)
- The dotted regions are magic squares (digits may not repeat, and each row, column, and diagonal have the same sum)
- Digits may not repeat along the diagonal line
- White dots indicate a difference of 1
- Black dots indicate a ratio of 2:1
Penpa
Solution code: Row 2 (left to right), then Row 9 (left to right)

At this point I very much owed you a solve, and I'm glad I did, tis is a really cool puzzle. I really like the white dot/black dot combo on the clones, I'm really fond of that kind of thing -- in fact this is the stuff of harder puzzles, you should definitely attempt setting a hard puzzle!
Kudos too on the use of magic squares. I attempted it twice myself and just couldn't get anything good with them. That quad combo with the diagonal worked wonders!

Nice puzzle. It took me a bit to find the break in (maybe I should not be starting a puzzle after midnight ;-)) , but after that it was pretty smooth sailing.

Yes, I made the same mistake in my rulesets early on. In English "may not" means can not. In the German translation however, "may not" comes out as maybe could. So I just avoid using the term "may not" and instead say "can not". Nice puzzle, quite easy but a nice relaxing and smooth solve.

Corrected the German description

Very nice puzzle, thank you!
But there seems to be something wrong with the german description as it says that numbers in magic squares could maybe not repeat themself. If you delete the word "möglicherweise" twice (magic squares and diagonal) the description will be correct :)
Thank you!

Very nice and fluently solving. I like it! :-))

I liked it. Quite easy, but a nice solving path that was quite "constant" in difficulty. Some fun logic involving the squares, clones and dots :-)

My first published puzzle. I hope I did everything correctly. Please enjoy!
