Killer - Hidden Arrows Sudoku
This puzzle can be solved in a complete logical way, but contains a few tricky steps at the start. I have written those steps as a hidden comment, for learning purposes.
Inspiration for this type comes from Realshaggy and Strosahl (1 and 2).

Apply classic sudoku rules.
The small numbers in the upper left corner of each cage (dotted outlined region) indicate the sum of the digits in that cage. Within each cage all digits must be different. Furthermore, each cage is completely filled by a hidden standard arrow clue, where every circle (or multidigit oval) contains the sum of all digits on the corresponding arrow. The circle (or oval) is located at one end of the cage, and the arrow extends to the other end, where the clue in the oval should be read in the direction of the outgoing arrow.
Solution code: Row 9, followed by column 9.

Loved this! Found it incredibly challenging but was glad I didn't look at the "hint" as, seeing it now, I think it'd take all the fun away =D. Thanks for this beauty! Had a really nice time figuring out where the arrows and circles went.

Who would have thought that hidden signposts could actually be useful. Discovering them was fun. :)
