My first time setting with double arrows. The puzzle shouldn't be too hard, but it does require some tricks. While it might be tempting, extensive case-checking is not needed at any point during the solve. Enjoy!
Rules:
Normal Sudoku rules apply. Place the digits 1-9 exactly once in each row, column and thick-outlined box.
Double Arrow rules apply. The digits along grey lines have the same sum as the digits in the two circles connected to the line.
XV rules apply. Digits in cells separated by an X sum to 10. Digits in cells separated by a V sum to 5. Not all Xs and Vs are necessarily given.
Digits must not repeat along the indicated diagonals.
Solution code: Row 8

Though it wasn't difficult I spent 280 minutes on it, I always knew I was close to the solution, once I got that right It was like eating cake you baked yourself
