If you think an &#8220;Ask Dr. Sudoku&#8221; vlog, construction or competition stories, or anything else might be interesting for our open Monday slots, we may try to make them in 2022.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Our past week with Kuromasu and Snake Pit puzzles is collected in this PDF and the solutions are in this PDF.
