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

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

Author\/Opus:<\/b> This is the 62nd 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, numbers along each line must have values strictly between the values of the two numbers in the circle cells bounding that particular line. (For example, R3C1 and R4C1 must have values between 2 and 8, the values in R2C1 and R5C1.)<\/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: circular Scelidosaurus<\/span>.<\/p>\n

Thomas Hits the GAS (highlight to view):<\/b> 1:32<\/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
