Sudoku by Bilip Muman
(This post is part of the Genuinely Approachable Sudoku (GAS) series.)
Today’s GAS is a classic Sudoku with a nice visual theme — in some ways this is the “Sincerest Form” of Sudoku when designed by hand by an expert, and even moreso when inspired by another sudokumaster.

Fun puzzle! How do I download the SudokuPad replay file? Clicking on the link opens it in a new tab, I cannot seem to download it in a form that allows me to load it on the SudokuPad settings menu.
Some kind of right click or control click or whatever works on your device will bring up a context menu with a download option. We’re still hopeful that someday the replay can just play by clicking on it but do not know if / when that functionality will be coded.
