Theme:<\/b> Ten-tastic<\/p>\n

Author\/Opus:<\/b> This is the 138th 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. Along each line, the numbers in every region it passes through have the same sum. (In this puzzle, for example, R2C1 + R2C2 = R3C2 + R3C3 + R4C3 + R4C4.)<\/p>\n

GAS Time Standards (highlight to view):<\/b> Two party hats (\ud83c\udfa9\ud83e\udd73): 5:30<\/span>; One party hat (\ud83e\udd73): 10:00<\/span>. All other solvers earn a \ud83e\udd95: zooming Zuolong<\/span>.<\/p>\n

Thomas Hits the GAS (highlight to view): <\/b> 1:06<\/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
