Arrow Sudoku by Philip Newman<\/p>\n

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

or solve online<\/a> (using SudokuPad)
\nor for the harder original version<\/b> see this PDF<\/a> or this digital solving link<\/a><\/p>\n

Theme:<\/b> Sumbeams<\/p>\n

Author\/Opus:<\/b> This is the 126th puzzle from Philip Newman, part of the Genuinely Approachable Sudoku (GAS<\/a>) team.<\/p>\n

Rules:<\/b> Standard Arrow 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). Some arrow shapes are in the grid; the sum of the numbers along the path of each arrow must equal the number in the circled cell. Numbers can repeat within an arrow shape.<\/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: Quibbling Quaesitosaurus<\/span>.<\/p>\n

Thomas Hits the GAS (highlight to view):<\/b> 2:23 (or 4:12 on the harder version solved first)<\/span>, with SudokuPad replay file<\/a> or harder version<\/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
