Why Arrow Sudoku Deserves A Fanfare
1,623*** TODAY'S PUZZLE ***
It's rare nowadays to find a puzzle with a simple ruleset that attracts such fantastic plaudits but Fanfare by James Sinclair is such a sudoku. This isn't a Genuinely Approachable Sudoku but it's not THAT much harder than one and has some very interesting logic.
Play the puzzle at the link below:

Rules:
Normal sudoku rules apply. Digits along an arrow sum to the digit in that arrow's circle. Digits in cells separated by a white dot are consecutive. Digits in cells separated by a black dot have a 1:2 ratio (ie one digit is double the other).
