I like to thank all testers and wish you joyful solving!
Rules:
- Normal sudoku rules apply, i.e. each row, column, and 3x3 region has to contain the digits from 1 to 9 once each.
- Zippers: On a lavender line, the digits on the ends sum to the digit at its center.
- Skyscraper Arrows: A digit on an arrow indicates the number of digits visible in the direction that it is pointing at. Digits are visible when they are larger than all the digits before them. (The digit on the arrow does not count itself.)
Here you can solve the puzzle online:
Solution code: Row 3 from left to right (9 digits in total)

Thank you for your comment, Calvinball! I am glad that you liked the puzzle and its title. Fun fact: I just picked it at first to have some title when I posted it into testing. Then, I began to like it and kept the title. :)
