GAS Sudoku Walkthrough - A Short Cut To... by Philip Newman (2024-12-07)

Finished in 8:54 (two hats). Tricky!

13:20 gets me a hat. I want a red Santa hat.

I kept on running into a trap where I thought r9c9 was a 1, which of course made conflicts arise in various ways. On my last try after having figured that out I finally got it in 10:54 but I in no way deserve the hat.

7:49 Two Hats

[@serpiton]

I started without checking the hat time and with 09:03 I thought I got maybe a single hat, but instead I got two!

More challenging than usual, but still pretty fun! My time today was 6:52, solver number 1198.

17.21. I took so long over this, checking, double-checking, triple-checking, that I thought I had no chance of a hat at all, so am absolutely delighted to get one.

jetlagged clover = clover on steroids 😮

[@SjefDriscoll]

I feel like I'm failing basic maths here - I'm not even past the first logic stage and I keep getting results on the bottom row that are completely impossible. It'll finish eventually, I suppose.

[@SjefDriscoll]

Oh, I'm an idiot.

[@SjefDriscoll]

STILL GOT THE HAT

[@QuentinStephens]

Nope, not fun rules.
