Rules:
Normal sudoku rules apply. The cell with the grey circle must contain an odd digit. Every single cage in the grid must contain digits summing to an odd number. Arrows with numbers outside the grid give the sum of the digits along the indicated diagonal. All other arrows point to diagonals that, although unclued, also sum to an odd number.
