There are 12 holes to be found in the below 8x8 grid. The number of holes in each column is indicated by a number in the top yellow area. The number of holes in each row is indicated by a number in the left-hand yellow area.
Each arrowhead points to one or more holes, but not every hole is necessarily pointed to by an arrowhead, and may be pointed to by more than one arrowhead. No hole coincides with an arrowhead.
Your task is to find the 12 holes.
