or solve online<\/a> (using SudokuPad)<\/p>\n

Author\/Opus:<\/b> This is the 32nd puzzle from Clover, part of the Genuinely Approachable Sudoku (GAS<\/a>) team.<\/p>\n

Rules:<\/b> 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, the number in each cell with an arrow must equal the sum of the values in one or more cells along the direction pointed at by the arrow, starting with the cell that the arrow points to directly. (For instance, R3C2 could equal R3C3 + R3C4 or R3C3 + R3C4 + R3C5.) <\/p>\n

GAS Time Standards (highlight to view):<\/b> Two party hats (\ud83c\udfa9\ud83e\udd73): 7:30<\/span>; One party hat (\ud83e\udd73): 14:00<\/span>. All other solvers earn a \ud83e\udd95: sharp-eyed Shamosaurus<\/span>.<\/p>\n

Thomas Hits the GAS (highlight to view): <\/b> 2:20<\/span>, with SudokuPad replay file<\/a> shared as a download for now (requires loading via settings menu with improvements expected before people should use this regularly).<\/p>\n

Solution:<\/b> PDF<\/a> and solving video<\/a> with explanation from GAS team.<\/p>\n
