Rules :
1) Normal Sudoku Rules: each row, column, and box contain the digits from 1 through 9 with no repeats.
2) Mean Arrow Rules: circled digits contain the mean (average) of any arrows that leave them.
3) Kropki Rules: Cells separated by a black dot have a 1:2 ratio. Cells separated by a white dot must be consecutive. Not all dots are given.
Good luck!
Solution code: Row 5 followed by Column 5 (18 digits with no spaces)

Took us over five hours yesterday and today to solve, mostly because we didn't see much of the logic

Nice! Not as hard as you may think.

Brilliant, hard and fun. The average/mean arrow constraint was new to me and made for some brilliant deductions through the solve.

Marvelous use of the ‘Average Arrows’ constraint!
