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

Author\/Opus:<\/b> This is the 183rd 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). Whenever an arrow is given outside the grid, the first three numbers in that row or column must increase in the direction of the arrow. For example, the arrow at the left of row 4 means R4C1 < R4C2 < R4C3 and the arrow at the left of row 7 means R7C1 > R7C2 > R7C3. (The absence of an outside arrow clue has no meaning in this puzzle unlike \u201cstandard\u201d Rossini Sudoku.)<\/p>\n

GAS Time Standards (highlight to view):<\/b> Two party hats (\ud83c\udfa9\ud83e\udd73): 6:30<\/span>; One party hat (\ud83e\udd73): 12:00<\/span>. All other solvers earn an \ud83e\udd95: operatic Opisthocoelicaudia<\/span>.<\/p>\n

Thomas Hits the GAS (highlight to view):<\/b> 1:52<\/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
