Hitting the GAS Again
Here are the five puzzles played today:
GAS 256 – Thermo Between by Clover: https://tinyurl.com/2mbczamt
Normal sudoku rules apply. Digits along a thermometer must increase (not necessarily consecutively!) from the round bulb to the tip. The bulb of the leftmost thermometer is hiding behind the circle in r4c1... sorry! Digits along a line must have values strictly between the values in the two circles on the ends of the line.
GAS 257 – Palindrome Quads by Sam: https://tinyurl.com/2p988dyj
Normal sudoku rules apply. Numbers placed on a grey line must form a palindromic sequence; that is, they must read the same in both directions. The numbers appearing in a white circle must be placed somewhere in the four cells surrounding the circle.
GAS 258 – Pufferfish by Philip: https://tinyurl.com/35wu87xv
Normal sudoku rules apply. And that’s it!
GAS 259 – Number 5 is Alive by Clover: https://tinyurl.com/2p982wa7
Normal sudoku rules apply. Digits in a cage may not repeat and must sum to a value ending in 5, such as 5, 15, 25, etc.
GAS 260 – Classic Sudoku by Sam: https://tinyurl.com/yuxhdz7r
Normal sudoku rules apply. And that’s it!
