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

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

Theme:<\/b> Straight and Narrow<\/p>\n

Author\/Opus:<\/b> This is the 130th puzzle from Clover, part of the Genuinely Approachable Sudoku (GAS<\/a>) team.<\/p>\n

Rules:<\/b> Insert a number from 1 to 8 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 instance, a line whose circles contain 3 and 7 must only contain some combinations of 4s, 5s, and\/or 6s.)<\/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: slim Sinusonasus<\/span>.<\/p>\n

Thomas Hits the GAS (highlight to view): <\/b> 2:05<\/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>; solving video with explanation to be added later from GAS team.<\/p>\n
