LATIN SQUARE - Place the digits 1-9 once each in every row and column.
LATIN SQUARES - Subdivide the grid into smaller latin squares, which can be any size except 1×1. An N×N latin square contains exactly N unique digits selected from 1 to 9.
DISJOINT - Latin squares with the same size may not have the same digit in the same relative position. (Example: if a 4×4 latin square has a 7 in its upper left corner, no other 4×4 latin square may have a 7 in its upper left corner).
ARROWS - Digits on an arrow sum to the digit in the attached circle.
Author's note: the solution is still unique without the rule forbidding 1×1 squares... but that version is much harder and less enjoyable to solve.

If puzzles like this don’t make you see the beauty of math I don’t know what will

Beautiful logical steps. Lost a lot of time realizing a latin square is not a magic square.
