Or are they....

  2. Arrow: Digits along an arrow sum to the number in the bulb.
  3. Killer: Digits in cages sum to the number on the top left corner of the cage.
  4. Little Killer: Digits along marked diagonals sum to the numbers outside the grid. Digits may repeat if allowed by other rules.

Very nice. Really liked how the difficulty ramped up after the break-in.

Quite enjoy how the "average of 5" clues work together bit by bit! "Unfairly maligned" rather than "absolutely useless"!
