The last four puzzles have all come with GAPP 101s. Good news: today's puzzle is easy enough that it doesn't have one. The bad news, of course, is that it's number placement. Today's puzzle is a natural extension of a genre I quite like (natural enough that I'm not even sure it can be classified as a variant), Nemo (Diagonals). The ruleset's wording doesn't even change!

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.
