Clones, Arrows & Killers (Sudoku)
(Published on 22. November 2021, 15:42 by PDN777)
Normal sudoku rules apply. There are 2 different-shaped clone regions. Digits that appear in one part of a clone must appear in exactly the same position in the other part. Digits along arrows sum to the number in the oval, and may repeat if the other rules allow. The left digit in an oval is the tens digit of the sum; the right is the ones digit. For example, 7 8 is seventy eight. Digits in a cage must sum to the little number in the upper left, and may not repeat in the cage. For clarity, there is a 2-cell 6-cage in R3C7, R3C8. As always, comments welcome!
Solution code: First row of puzzle, and fourth column of puzzle (read top to bottom). Enter as a string of 18 digits, no spaces.

Very nice puzzle. I'm relatively new to this and the logic helped me figure things out in the end.

I actually broke into this one! :) Felt like I followed the intended logic exactly for the first few digits. Nice!
