Parity Lines Sudoku by clover!<\/p>\n

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

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

Theme:<\/b> Parity Paths<\/p>\n

Author\/Opus:<\/b> This is the 159th 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 numbers along each line are either all odd or all even.<\/p>\n

GAS Time Standards (highlight to view):<\/b> Two party hats (\ud83c\udfa9\ud83e\udd73): 8:00<\/span>; One party hat (\ud83e\udd73): 15:00<\/span>. All other solvers earn a \ud83e\udd95: linear Leptoceratops<\/span>.<\/p>\n

Thomas Hits the GAS (highlight to view):<\/b> 3:12<\/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
