Rank Up 01 - Arrows
(Published on 6. July 2024, 00:27 by ThePedallingPianist)
Sudoku: Within the main grid (inside the thick border), fill every cell with a digit from 1-5 such that digits do not repeat in a row or column.
Full Rank: A value in an external cell represents the rank of the number formed by reading the digits in that row or column from that direction, where (1) is the lowest such row or column and (20) is the highest.
Arrows: values on an arrow sum to the value in the attached circle.
N.B. If two ranks are tied, the value in both external cells is the lower of the two ranks being shared. For example, if the lowest four ranks are "12453", "13524", "13524" and "15432", the values in the relevant external cells would be (1), (2), (2) and (4) respectively.
Solution code: Column 5 (far right) of the internal grid, top to bottom

Fun little puzzle. Pretty impressive making a unique and solvable puzzle with so few clues. Some neat logic in there as well, especially in the mid-solve.

Fun opening and an interestingly tricky knot to untangle in the middle! Very enjoyable

Very nice! Trickier than I expected but cool that you can get away with so few full rank clues.

Takes a bit to come to grips with but a very cool ruleset and a wonderful execution, as always!
