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). The sum of the numbers in each cage must equal the value given in the upper-left corner of that cage. Numbers cannot repeat inside a cage. Also, numbers along indicated diagonals must sum to the given total outside the grid. Unlike in the cages, numbers can repeat along these diagonal sums.<\/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 a \ud83e\udd95: birthday Bothriospondylus<\/span>.<\/p>\n
