Taco Bowl 2 - More Meat
(Published on 14. March 2021, 19:30 by DiMono)
Normal sudoku rules apply. Additionally, there are embedded sandwiches within the grid:
When two arrows face each other, they are crusts of a sandwich. The digits in the crust cells must be the sum of the sandwich INCLUDING the crust, in some order.
For example, if there are two arrows with 3 cells between them (→ _ _ _ ←), two valid solutions could be 74862 or 24867, because either way the digits = 7+4+8+6+2 = 27
Solve on Penpa
Solution code: Row 5, Column 5

Is this a pointing type of puzzle? Doubt. Seems like doesn't means it is. Pointing type should have a clear direction and no boundary. This one locks the taco between the arrows. It's more of a killer variant to me.

Hmm, you're right: including the crust does make a substantive difference - it's more constraining overall.
In the future, any time anyone invents a "pointing" kind of ruleset, they should check the collective works of Stephane, as there's a ≥50% chance he's done it before. :D

I thought I'd seen (and solved) this ruleset before, and indeed I have:

I also believe that puzzle was featured on CTC.
@henrypijames: It's actually not the same ruleset, though it is based on it: in my puzzle, the crust is included in the sum. In Stephane's (and Qodec's) it's not. Thanks for the link though, I wasn't aware of that puzzle. I'll have to go solve it now :)
