Center of Attention (Qodec's Tribute Puzzle)
(Published on 4. November 2022, 09:42 by Playmaker6174)
This puzzle has some interesting ideas for the start and the later solve should reward you even more after that, I hope you enjoy this special gift!
Rules:
- Normal Sudoku rules apply: every row, column and 3x3 box contains digits from 1 to 9 each once.
- Digits within a cage can't repeat and they must sum to the small number written in the top left of that cage.
(Note that the 2x2 cage in box 9 has the total of 22)
- Digits along an arrow must sum to the digit in the circle cell attached to that arrow.
Puzzle:
Good luck and have fun solving!
Solution code: Row 5 (left to right) and column 5 (top to bottom), 18 digits long with no space

Just lovely! This was so full of small, precise miracles! I especially enjoyed the determination of that 14 cage, as well as the opening! :^)
