Introduction to Digit Sharing by Skeptical Mario
A new rule. This puzzle is an easy proof-of-concept; I'm likely to create full-size puzzles with this rule and different constraints in the future. Please let me know if you're interested!
Rules:
6x6 sudoku - Enter a digit from 1-6 in each cell without repeating in a row, column, or 2x3 box.
Digit Sharing - If a cell is used by more than one clue, its value is split evenly among all such clues. For example, a 6 on an arrow and next to a white dot counts as a 3 for each.
Consecutive Kropki - White dots separate consecutive values. Not all dots are given.
Arrows - Values on an arrow sum to the value in the attached circle.

I hope you enjoy the puzzle!
Solution code: The values in row 5 and row 6 (12 digits)

That was fun and needed my brain to "not trust my eyes" which was harder than I would have thought!

Very cool! It's like those puzzles where "one cell in every row/column/box is worth half its digit", only the special boxes are given to you instead of you having to find them. Takes some careful thought to notice *all* of the digits that have to be split, like those Kropkis.

Took me a while to figure out that the solution code was the split value rather than the grid value

cool idea. I can see how this can become quite challenging in bigger grids.
