Almost Satisfaction

(Published on 12. February 2022, 07:15 by Joseph nehme)

This puzzle can be solved without either of the inequality signs. I first posted the puzzle without them but the solving path turned out to be extremely difficult and hard to spot so I added them for a smoother solving path. For a more challenging puzzle solve it without the inequality in box 3 and for a really hard one solve it without both inequalities.

Rules:

- Normal Standard Sudoku rules apply.

- On the marked diagonals digits cannot repeat.

- Normal Little killer Sudoku Rules: Digits on the diagonals sum to the clues outside the grid. Digits can repeat on diagonals.

- The digits in the circles are the sum of the digits along their respective arrows. Digits may repeat along the arrows

- The inequality signs mean that R1C8 is higher than R2C8 and that R9C9 is higher than R8C9

Broke it once, let it sit, came back to it, somehow managed :D

It was hard, but good
