Normal sudoku rules apply.
German Whispers: Adjacent digits along a green line differ by at least 5.
Arrows: The digit in a circle is the sum of the digits along the connected arrow.

Unbelievable puzzle. Such advanced interactions between the grid clues, at a level that I haven't seen in a while. Thank you and congratulations

Took me ten minutes to get my first digit. It then flowed nicely until I hit another difficult step. I gave it a 3* difficulty.

phew, glad to be the 69th solver of this one x)
Very sweet and intricately crafted puzzle indeed! I had fun working around that opening sequence.

This is an excellent puzzle in 2.5* range for my time. A few steps get you past a grid state that seems impossible, but everything works out. Amazing!

Well, I reached a point where I could go no further without one guess. I'll never know what logic I missed but I did get through!

My experience with solving zetamath puzzles is almost always finding small, clever interactions that come together in fun ways. This one doesn’t disappoint!

Intricate indeed.

one of the most beautiful puzzles ive done! it seems like there's no way the grid is going to solve and slowly the amazing way the geometry of the puzzle interacts allows you to make progress and suddenly the grid completes itself

Super fun one! Great setting.

Fabulous! The intricacies that lead to disambiguate highs/lows on the green lines were so much fun
