Rules: Standard Sudoku rules (insert a number from 1 to 9 into each cell so that no number repeats in any row, column, or bold region). Also, along each circle there must be a sequence of consecutive numbers that increases by one between cells as it goes around the circle. The starting point and the direction of each sequence must be determined.
