This next week is a sudoku set from Prasanna Seshadri. Prasanna has recently co-authored a Sudoku Mix book with Logic Masters India and has also been part of our contributions to “Will Shortz’s Sudoku” magazine. Sometimes the submissions are too hard for the magazine, but I hold onto these for the website. So over this week you’ll see some of Prasanna’s more challenging gems:
Tuesday: Consecutive Pairs Sudoku
Thursday: Arrow Sudoku
Saturday: Thermo-Sudoku

Theme: Digit Series and Clue Symmetry
Author/Opus: This is the 227th puzzle from Thomas Snyder, aka Dr. Sudoku.
Rules: Standard Sudoku rules. Additionally, some numbered arrows outside the grid indicate the sum of the numbers along that diagonal path. (Numbers can repeat along a diagonal sum.)
Note: No answer strings or timing here (honor system for when you solve it). I’m simply posting some “examples” I wrote as the Sudoku Grand Prix coordinator. Apparently some common variants aren’t common enough….
