Arrow Logic
(Published on 18. July 2023, 17:05 by Brotherdoug)
Rules
place digits 1-9 in each row, column, and 3x3 box. digits in cages sum to that cages total, digits in cages do no repeat. digits along an arrow sum to that arrows circle. digits at the base of black arrows show how many cells away in that direction the cages sum is placed.
Solution code: diagonal from top left to bottom bottom right

Please update your icons: knowledge of English language and mathematics is not necessary; there is no sequence nor are there polyominos in this puzzle. Added should be Arrows (Variante) and Killer (Variante).

Fun puzzle, interesting idea with the arrows. Thanks.

@BrotherDoug - You should really put the Sudoku through a solution checker rather than relying on just two people to confirm it does have only one solution. Two people may stumble across the same solution if it's the easiest but that doesn't mean there isn't another possible one out there! (Of course this time it does seem to be the case, but there's so many possible solutions to sudokus in general that it's best to use a computer to verify it.)

senatorgronk I've made the adjustment for rules to be clarified thanks for the feedback

Actually absolutely fun, very interesting idea. Well done!

The rule about the black arrow is inaccurate; It should read how many cells _away_ the cage total can be found in the direction of the arrow.

thoughtbyte that solution code was a my bad moment should be corrected now

The solution code is wrong, please fix. As AzureFire said, it is the diagonal from top left to bottom right. I agree with others that this is 1 star difficulty.
Cool idea, would like to see what more difficult logic utilizing the rule looks like.

nunc- this was done in collaboration with my brother for the idea, we both got the same outcome, I wouldn't think there is multiple solutions

Solution code is the diagonal from top left to bottom right. It’s a 1* difficulty.
