I liked the 'BYOX' mechanic from my previous puzzle, but I didn't love the puzzle. I wanted to make something smoother to solve, and I hope this fits the bill. It's certainly more approachable; probably 2-3 stars for difficulty.

Enjoy!


Rules

Normal sudoku rules apply: Place the digits 1-9 once each in every row, column, and 3x3 box.

Arrows: Digits along an arrow sum to the number in its bulb.

Build-your-own X-Sums: Digits along an arrow are an X-sum *clue* - the following X digits (in the direction of the arrow) sum to the clue, where X is the first cell in that direction. 2-cell arrows are double-digit clues: The nearest digit to the arrow circle is the tens digit, followed by the units digit.

The inequality symbol (>) points to the smaller of the two digits surrounding the symbol.

Solution code: Reading top-down from row 1, write the column index of each 1 in the solved grid. 9 digits, no spaces or punctuation.

Very fun puzzle, thanks!

To me the wording of the rules was confusing at first, i looked at the other puzzle and explicitly saying that the X/N is "first cell after the arrow in that direction" instead of just "first cell in that direction" is much better as it removes all imagined ambiguity.
