#170: Lying Consecutive Numpoint

 made on 4/30/22

This puzzle type and variant were invented by thejonymyster.

Write a positive integer into each cell of the grid so that every row or column containing a number n must contain every positive integer below n (e.g. if a cell contains a 3, it must be on the same row as at least one 1 and one 2, and on the same column as at least one 1 and one 2). A number with an arrow in its cell must see exactly one copy of itself in that direction (e.g. if a cell contains a 2 and a downward arrow, there is exactly one 2 below it in that column, no more and no less).

(See #159 for another numpoint.)

Variant rules: Black arrows tell the truth while white arrows lie. Numbers separated by white dots are consecutive.
