This puzzle was made for Scojo's weekly prompt. The prompt was "Sandwich Sums" and "Negators". I didn't want to just do normal Sandwich clues outside the grid so I went with an internal grid clue for the sums. I also needed something to set the 1s and 9s, so I went with just the 1 and 9 of a 159 puzzle. I hope you enjoy!
Rules
Normal sudoku rules apply.
Column Indexers: All digits in columns 1 and 9 indicate the column in which the digit 1 or 9 (respectively) appears in that row. (dashed red lines are for visual reminders)
Negators: Each row, column, and 3x3 box will contain exactly one Negator cell. Each Negator cell contains a unique digit whose value is equal to -1 times that digit.
Internal Sandwich Sums: A digit in an arrow cell (marked in the grid) indicates the sum of values that lie between the 1 and 9 in the indicated direction. For clarity, both the 1 and 9 will be past the arrow cell in the indicated direction, and arrow cells will never contain a 1 or a 9.

Lösungscode: Row 9 from left to right. (9 digits)

Probably my favorite puzzle this year. I am a huge fan of both sandwich & 159. The negators added some very fun logic. The way the puzzle unfolded at the end was perfect.
MSDOS: That is so nice of you to say Tank! Thanks so much :)

Frankly, more people should have tried this one by now. Not too hard, not too easy, and nicely done.
MSDOS: Thanks so much for saying that Big Tiger!
