Second Eccentric Arrows
(Published on 1. October 2021, 16:00 by manushand)
- Standard Sudoku Rules Apply
- Colored Circles
- Each color represents a different type of arrow. The solver must determine which color is which type. The five types of arrows are:
- Normal arrow; all digits along each arrow emanating from the circle sum to the digit in the circle.
- Odd arrow; only odd digits along each arrow emanating from the circle are summed to make the digit in the arrow's circle.
- Even arrow; only even digits along each arrow emanating from the circle are summed to make the digit in the arrow's circle.
- Straight arrow; only digits in squares along each arrow emanating from the circle in which the particular arrow does not bend are summed to make the digit in the arrow's circle. The digit in the arrow's tip is included in the sum.
- Bent arrow; only digits in squares along the arrow in which the particular arrow does bend are summed to make the digit in the arrow's circle. The digit in the arrow's tip is not included in the sum.
A circle with multiple arrows emanating from it (which is the case for the lavender, purple, gold, and lime arrows) contains the number that is the sum of each one of those arrows. All such arrows will sum to the same total, and that total is the number that appears in the circle.
- Uncolored Circles
- Two circles are uncolored. The solver must determine which type(s) of arrow these are (each might qualify as more than one arrow type).
- Difference Dots
- Digits on either side of a white dot are consecutive; one of them is one less than the other.

Excellent puzzle. Thoroughly enjoyed the logic throughout. That gold arrow :). One suggestion for clarity’s sake: due to the highly overlapping nature of the puzzle, it would help to show each arrow group individually. Or maybe it’s done on purpose to challenge the solver? >:)

Great job putting this together. Very logical with no guessing required.

Add text to rules clarifying that a circle contains the sum of EACH of its separate arrows, not the grand total of ALL of them. (Thank you, @SKORP17!)
