\"Even<\/p>\n

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

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

Theme:<\/b> Don’t Get Mad, Get Even Sandwich<\/p>\n

Author\/Opus:<\/b> This is the 99th puzzle from Clover, part of the Genuinely Approachable Sudoku (GAS<\/a>) team.<\/p>\n

Rules:<\/b> Standard Sudoku<\/a> 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 clues outside the grid indicate all numbers in that row or column surrounded by even numbers on both sides (“sandwiched”). Clues can be given in any order, and all such numbers are given. If no clue is given, there may be any count of values (including no values) sandwiched between even numbers in that row or column.<\/p>\n

GAS Time Standards (highlight to view):<\/b> Two party hats (\ud83c\udfa9\ud83e\udd73): 7:00<\/span>; One party hat (\ud83e\udd73): 13:00<\/span>. All other solvers earn a \ud83e\udd95: throwback Therizinosaurus<\/span>.<\/p>\n

Thomas Hits the GAS (highlight to view):<\/b> 2:02<\/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
