Rules
- 1.Normal Rules apply.
- 2.Every arrow have at least one arrow pointing to it in the opposite direction(Including the ? clues outside). The difference between a pair of arrows pointing to each other equals to the Distance(cell center to cell center)between them. Arrow pairs have been colored for better visibility when filled/pencilmarked.Not all possible arrows are given
- 3.The ?s outside of the grid can represent any number.More about how the ?s work can be known along the way. In case you found out what the ?s are about but havent played that genre of sudokus before, I included the rules of some variants involving outside clues in the comments.

This was an interesting constraint, but the puzzle felt more like a 5★. Still, nice puzzle!

I'm working through this series of puzzles and so far I'm very pleased! This was a joy. I struggled a bit to wrap my head around the rules, and miscounted several times before I got the hang of it. Thanks again!

Some rules involving outside grid clues:
X-sums: a number outside the grid gives the sum of the first X digits along the row or column, where X is the first of those digits.
Sandwich: The clues outside the grid give the sum of the digits sandwiched between 1 and 9 in the respective row or column.
Numbered Room:Digits outside the grid are numbered rooms clue. That digit must be placed in the Nth cell in that direction, where N is the digit placed in the first cell in that direction.
Skyscrapers: Digits in the grid represent heights of skyscrapers. Clues outside of the grid indicate the number of skyscrapers visible in that row/column, looking in the direction starting from the clue.
