Stupid Cupid, he tripped and fell
“If I were you,” roared William Tell,
“I’d have no son - instead
   of the apple, I’d have hit his head!”

Stupid Cupid, quiver on the floor
Robin Hood laughed "They'd still be poor,
I'd've been caught - instead
   of a hero, I’d’ve hung till dead!"

Stupid Cupid, he wiped a tear
Deep down he quietly feared
"Among these friends...
   ...I am not respected"

Solve in SudokuPad

Robin Hood has taken one of Cupid’s arrows and hidden it from him. Cupid is quite stressed as it was his special long arrow. Cupid always keeps them numbered, so he can work out which one is missing and then search for it. Can you help him work out which arrow is missing and find where it’s hidden?

Rules

Normal sudoku rules apply: fill the grid with digits 1-9 so that no digit repeats in any row, column, or 3×3 box.

• Cupid’s Arrows: There are 9 arrows in this puzzle; however, 1 arrow is hidden and must be located by the solver. The hidden arrow is longer than any of the others (5 cells or greater including the heart). The digits along an arrow must sum to the number in its heart, and each arrow has a different total. Digits may repeat along arrows if allowed by standard sudoku rules. Arrows cannot share cells or cross each other. Arrows cannot pass through the centre of the little kropki hearts.

All variant clues follow their standard meanings; full descriptions are provided below.

• Black Kropki Hearts: A black heart connects two digits where one is exactly double the other.
• Green Kropki Hearts: A green heart connects two digits with a difference of 5 or more.
• Red Kropki Hearts: A red heart connects two digits where one is odd and the other is even.
