Hi everyone. Here is my new puzzle. I hope you like it.
Rules:
1. Normal sudoku rules apply: Each row, column and 3x3 box contains each digit from 1 to 9 exactly once.
2. Each line is either a renban or a region sum line.
A renban line must contain a set of non-repeating consecutive digits in any order.
On a region sum line, digits have the same sum in each 3x3 box the line passes through. Different lines may have different sums.
3. Additionally, each line is an average arrow: a digit at one end of the line is the average (arithmetic mean) of the digits along the line, including itself. The solver must deduce which end of the line contains the average. The F-shaped line from box 2 to box 5 has 3 ends.
4. Symbols: Cells marked with a letter/symbol will have the same letter/symbol if and only if they have the same digit. Symbols used: a, n, =, 0, !, −, ∞.
5 Digits joined by an X must sum to 10.
6. An inequality sign (>) points to the lower digit.
Have fun solving!
Lösungscode: Column 9 (top to bottom, 9 digits)

This was tricky, but very very fun, the opener logic was really quite beautiful and a few scanning/ interaction challenges towards the back end meant that the puzzle never really let up, and I enjoyed that immensely. Despite what the title implies, this puzzle is anything but... derivative. I'll see myself out. Thank you for this puzzle!

Very cool, but quite challenging for me. Very nice break in, but there was a deduction towards the end that was really hard for me to see, but fun when I finally did figure it out
