- RULE SET -
- Regular Sudoku rules apply.
- Every digit from 1 - 9 is represented by its own letter or symbol in the grid.
-
Stand-alone letters outside the grid are
Difference-Equation
answers.
Difference-Equation
Example: ( | a - c | - x | = a )
Symbols like (' ? ') are NOT included in the Difference-Equations!
Simply put, take the largest digit in the equation and subtract the second largest digit from that, then subtract the third largest digit from that, etc.. to get the answer.
-
Arrow-Equations outside the grid with arrows, appear to be the sum
of every cell along that diagonal.

Fantastic and underrated puzzle! 5/5 for me, very interesting logic throughout, note I needed a notepad for the possible candidates for each letter/symbol.
Also note the difference equations uses the given letters only in that equation.

Nice puzzle, which is not too hard.
And if you like algebra, I very recommend it.
