\"Palindrome<\/p>\n

PDF<\/a><\/p>\n

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

Author\/Opus:<\/b> This is the 53rd 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). The numbers along each gray line form a palindrome (i.e., read the same forwards and backwards).<\/p>\n

GAS Time Standards (highlight to view):<\/b> Two party hats (\ud83c\udfa9\ud83e\udd73): 6:00<\/span>; One party hat (\ud83e\udd73): 11:00<\/span>. All other solvers earn a \ud83e\udd95: Leinkupalindrome<\/span>.<\/p>\n

Thomas Hits the GAS (highlight to view):<\/b> 2:13<\/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
