Sudoku: Fill every row, column and marked 3x3 box with the digits 1-9.
Secret Cells (100): There are nine Secret Cells in the grid, one in each row, column and marked 3x3 box. The Secret Cells contain a complete set of the digits 1-9. The value of the Secret Cells have to be determined by the solver by the following rules:
- The values are unique positive integers.
- The sum of the values of the nine Secret Cells is exactly 100.
- The values of the Secret Cells have to strictly increase with increasing digits placed in the Cells (i.e. The Secret Cell with 2 has a higher value than the Secret Cell with 1 and so on).
Arrow: Values on an arrow have to sum to the value in the corresponding circle. Digits may repeat if allowed by other rules.
Have fun solving!

Not sure there was an elegant way of figuring out which of the 1-4 secret cells could be which. I just went down branches to see what contradictions I could come up with and figured out the solution from that.

To get the positions of the secret cells was no problem at all. But to work out how the different digits/values are distributed took me quite a while… Amazing puzzle! Thank you so much for creating and sharing this masterpiece.

The break in is insane. You really have to think at the nature of some cells. Loved it al the way.
Deserves a show.
