Had to read the rules 5 times until I understood what "indicates a cell" mean.
Then I needed to read the rules of the solution code 3 times...
In between - enjoyed it very much :)
Thanks!

Why am I just learning there is a copy cells button that can be turned on. I am constantly struggling on mobile when entering solution codes on here. Thanks for the puzzle and tip Michael.

I wonder how many people solved the puzzle but didnt bother to figure out the solution code or gave up after a few attempts.

The solution code was harder than the puzzle!

The hardest part of the puzzle was figuring out the solution code. ;)

im kind of new to this but its really strange and cool to me that arrows which do nothing except point at other cells somehow helps solve a puzzle

This puzzle made me feel like a crazy person. Edit: This is especially true when you don't read the instructions for the solution code correctly

That was fine, I guess. Somehow.
