XV Arrow Sudoku

Hello everyone,

Following my video yesterday on Jonny Kaufman’s XV Arrow sudoku, there was some chat on Discord this morning about this hybrid and longest possible arrows. I put this together accordingly – it’s not hard but exemplifies this combined variant (arrows have been replaced by colouring), and we thought our Patreons might enjoy a relatively straightforward solve. The grid is in the attachment.

Rules: Normal sudoku rules apply, and the 3-cell pill shows the total of the yellow cells. The 2-cell pill shows the total of the blue cells. Green cells are both blue and yellow. All neighbour pairs of cells that sum to 10 or 5 are shown by an X (10) or V (5).

 It’s in our software here: https://cracking-the-cryptic.web.app/sudoku/jHtJrf2342

That was a fun puzzle.

Great puzzle! If you know the trick for any 2 pill arrow with the entire row's length always summing to 36, this was a quick start. 9:52 for me - not much to think about but still a fun concept!
