Rules:
Normal sudoku rules apply.
LIAR CELLS: Every row, column and 3x3 box contains one liar cell, whose real value is different from its digit.
• Every liar cell contains a different digit from 1-9.• Every liar cell has a different value from 1-9.
GERMAN WHISPER LINES: Adjacent values along a green line have a difference of at least 5.
BLACK DOTS: If a black dot sits between two cells, the value of one is double the value of the other.
X: If an X sits between two cells, their values sum to 10.
NOTES: In each blue arrow, enter the liar digit for its row, and in the green circle to its right, write its real value.
Solution code: VALUES in column 9, reading downwards

Very fun and not too difficult

The break-in was pretty straightforward ... once I finally looked in the right place. :-)
After that, the puzzle remained challenging until the end. 4 stars for difficulty. Very nice!

I love liar / mirror / rotation cells!
I made a bunch of mistakes here because I assumed too quickly there were no other options, but it's just not my best week. Still having fun :D

This was incredibly beautiful! I found it to be very hard, but all steps were "obvious" in retrospect, and not complex at all once you realize how to think about it. Thank you Marty!!!!

I always love your puzzles. This one was easy difficulty for me but the flow was absolutely brilliant. I found myself exclaiming "Oh that's very clever!" a few times. Thanks for another great puzzle!
