Theme:<\/b> Two Givens for the Price of One<\/p>\n

Author\/Opus:<\/b> This is the 197th puzzle from clover!, part of the Genuinely Approachable Sudoku (GAS<\/a>) team.<\/p>\n

Rules:<\/b> Insert a number from 0 to 9 into each cell so that no number repeats in any row, column, or bold region. Some cells are split by slashes; in these cells, two numbers are to be entered, one on each side of the slash.<\/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: giving Gobisaurus<\/span>.<\/p>\n
