- Digits along arrows sum to the number in the circle
- Bold lines are palindromes and thus read the same in either direction
- Cells connected by a white dot are consecutive; cells separated by a black dot have a ratio of 1:2
- Cells connected by an X sum up to 10
- No negative constraint on any component
Solve on the CTC app

It was 4 stars when I first attempted it, so maybe it's right, I still voted 5 though just cause itd be my first lol
I did see one of the comments before, but really it's the ONLY thing to go by in the end, so I'd probably have focused my attention there anyway, so I'll just go ahead and say I did it all by myself!

Thank you so much for sticking it out and solving, and congrats on your first 5 stars solve -- assuming it remains a 5 stars ;P In any case, well done!

what an ingenious construction, really hats off to you for creating it, honestly, I lost the count of how many wow moments I had when solving it.
I don't think it is five stars though, maybe this kind of puzzles just suits me well, but four stars seems about right to me.

Thank you so much for the very kind words! And yes, I think 4 stars too, there's just too many digits that will eventually be found at once before the puzzle is actually over, and it doesn't require any fancy tricks or knowledge to be a true 5 stars, but as another solver pointed out, there's still quite a few steps that may not *look* important but that are and thus could be missed, so who knows, maybe like you said it just suits our own styles better!

This puzzle was brutal. There were so many small but important deductions I had to make to even get close to finishing the puzzle. And using the non-symmetry of the two X clues in boxes 3 and 7 to reveal which way the pattern went was just brilliant.

Thank you SO much for that comment, it really means a lot! :D That puzzle has been very hard to set, and to set right, and I wasn't sure I had done a good job of it in the end, as it went through many iterations and it turned out quite differently than what I had originally intended, but you followed the path exactly as intended for this iteration
About the difficulty, do you think I should up it to 5, to attract solvers looking for a different challenge, or does 4 stars sound about right? Anyway, thank you again for your comment and feedback!
