*** TODAY'S PUZZLE ***
We've received lots of recommendations for this one! It's called Duplicitous Arrows, it's by Calvinball and it has a 100% rating on Logic Masters. It fully deserves it too. Interesting and unusual logic from start to finish makes it a pleasure to do battle with!

Rules
Normal sudoku rules apply. Every row, column and 3x3 box contains one liar cell, whose real value is different from its digit. Every liar cell contains a different digit from 1-9. Every liar cell has a different value from 1-9. The sum of the values in the circles is equal to the sum of the values on the attached line. Values are allowed to repeat in the circles and on the lines as normally allowed by other rules. Values separated by an X must sum to 10.
