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

or solve online<\/a> (using our beta test of Penpa-Edit tools; use tab to alternate between Sudoku number entry mode and a shading mode to mark the top grid.)<\/p>\n

Theme:<\/b> Clue Symmetry and Logic<\/p>\n

Author\/Opus:<\/b> This is the 17th puzzle from our contributing puzzlemaster Prasanna Seshadri.<\/p>\n

Rules:<\/b> Variation of Sudoku<\/a> rules. Each number in the top grid must be moved either up, down, left, or right the same number of cells as that number\u2019s value without crossing the border of the grid. Numbers must all land on unique spots, but unlike in normal Hamle numbers may be adjacent after moving and white areas may not all be connected. Then solve the resulting sudoku. (Note: It is possible for a number to have two valid movement options in the solution; it is only required that at least one direction of movement exists for each number.)<\/p>\n

Answer String:<\/b> Enter the 2nd row from left to right, followed by a comma, followed by the 5th row from left to right. <\/p>\n

Time Standards (highlight to view):<\/b> Grandmaster = 9:30, Master = 15:00, Expert = 30:00<\/span><\/p>\n
