Bacteria (Least Loved Arrows)
(Published on 22. November 2021, 00:10 by purpl)
Rules:
Normal sudoku rules apply.
Digits along an arrow sum to the digit in that arrows circle.
Additionally, the digit in an arrow's circle will repeat in a cell pointed at by that circle's arrow tip. This repeat can be one or more cells away from the arrow tip (but not the arrow tip cell itself).
Additionally, digits MUST repeat on arrows if allowed by other rules. In other words, arrows which can have repeated digits must have as many repeated digits as possible.

Solution code: Row 5 and row 7 (left to right, 18 digits, no spaces)
