Slim Sandwich
(Published on 1. February 2023, 01:10 by JamesCullum)
Slim Sandwich uses a combination of sudoku variants with a slight twist on arrow sudoku rules
Rules:
1. Normal sudoku rules apply.
2. Cells separated by a knight's move (in chess) cannot contain the same digit.
3. Digits on an arrow must sum to either double or half of the digit within that arrows circle cell. Once halved or doubled, the value of the arrows circle cell will become that cells value.
4. Digits outside the grid show the sum of the values sandwiched between the 1 and the 9 in the column or row.
5. In cages, values must sum to the small clue in the top left corner. Digits cannot repeat within a cage.
Puzzle:
Please enjoy the puzzle
Solution code: Rows 6 and 9 one after the other with no spaces.

Read the second half of rule 3. Then read rule 4. It specifies that the sandwich sum counts the sum of the "values" not "digits" between 1 - 9.

Are the Sandwich clues doubled/halved too? It doesn't say they are, but how can you have a sandwich clue of 1 otherwise?

Neat variant. I'd love to see a harder one (not ridiculously harder, though!)
