I have carefully crafted a puzzle designed to trip up anyone that doesn't like to read puzzle rules, for April Fools day. I hope everyone that gives it a go enjoys some of the bits of logic I managed to pack into this rather unintuitive 6x6 grid. :)
Rules:
Normal 6x6 sudoku rules apply. (Place the digits 1-6 once each into every row, column, and 2x3 box.)
Digits on an arrow have the DIFFERENCE of the digit in the attached circle.
Cells separated by an inequality symbol must obey the symbol shown. (it points to the smaller digit.)
The indicated diagonals are read as 'Look and Say' clues, where the first digit indicates the amount of times the second digit appears along those diagonals.
Digits along the blue line must have the same DIFFERENCE within each box it passes through.
