Fill the grid with numbers from 1 to 8 such that every row, every column and every region contains each of the numbers from 1 to 8 once. The regions are sets of 8 connected cells and first have to be determined. They can not cover any 2x2 region.
Digits in a cell with an arrow show the amount of steps that can be taken within the cells' region to reach an end within the same region. An end is defined as a cell of a region that has walls on all other 3 edges besides the one we used to enter that cell. (So, if there is a 4 in an arrow cell, it means that if you take 4 steps in the given direction, an end within the region will be reached. These 4 steps can go in any direction after the first initial step in the given direction, but not back to cells already visited before.)
All arrows have been given
