If you haven't had the pleasure of experiencing Flinty's wonderful Dutch Flat Mates series I highly encourage you to do so — you'll find the entire series linked below.
Special Thanks to Flinty for helping me edit and improve this puzzle.
By the way, yesterday was Flinty's birthday — Happy birthday!
Rules:
Normal Sudoku rules apply. Place the digits 1-9 once in each row, column, and 3X3 box.
5s live in Dutch Flats All 5s in the grid must have a '1' directly above it or a '9' directly below it. It may have both, but it doesn't need both.
Search 9: A digit in an arrow shows the distance to a cell containing a 9 in the indicated direction (not necessarily the 9 closest to it).
