Nice puzzle, with a lovely break-in idea, but I think that the difficulty might have been way oversold by other comments, I found it only 3*, it only requires a knowledge of the 3-cell arrow sums.
In any case, thanks for setting this, TNC.

Fantastic! 2 years later, I still can't think of a break-in that blew my mind as much as this one. And the resolution at the end is just glorious.

Thanks for your answer. I probably made a mistake somewhere.

Gibt es hier einen Geheimtrick, den es zu erraten gilt?
Ich habe bereits mehrere Lösungen, die mit den Vorgaben übereinstimmen, aber nicht die gewünschte Lösung ergeben :(
Is there a secret trick here to guess?
I already have several solutions that match the guidelines, but do not give the desired solution :(
@Mody:
I'm not sure at which point you're having trouble, so I'll suggest watching a solve by Simon. Link:

If you somehow fully filled the grid, you can turn on 'Highlight Conflicts' in f-puzzles settings to see why the solution is not correct
Hope that helps :)

Wow! After 12 to 18 hours, I finally solved it! You certainly earned your "very hard" rating - thanks for the puzzle :)

Really cool idea!

Very nice! Some interesting and unusual logic required to start this one. Hard to judge the difficulty level. Once I actually opened F-Puzzles, it was a very quick solve. But I stared at the grid for quite a while before that, trying to figure out what was going on.

That is insanely difficult break-in logic - but beautiful! Amazing puzzle.
