What's your favorite show? Mine is The Simpsons. My favorite episode of all was when Homer Simpson blinded the cycloptic Polyphemus and said "Nemo did it!". Homer Simpson (as Nemo) would later pilot a submarine whose odometer would eventually hit approximately 80,000 km and then implode near the wreckage of the Titanic.

I also liked the part where two kingdoms went to war over a beautiful woman, because, God dude, same.

Rules: Place a number from the range given outside the grid into some cells so that each row and column contains every number from that range with no repeats, and shade all of the remaining cells. Cells with arrows must contain a number that represents the distance to the first shaded cell appearing in the indicated direction.

Tip #1: If a row or column has five unshaded cells, the rest of the cells in that row or column must be shaded! The same is true for three shaded cells unshading the rest of the row or column.
Tip #2: Cells containing arrows that can see a 1 in their row or column must have the adjacent cell in the direction of the arrow unshaded.
