  1. Hello, Akash. I'm new to sudoku solving and I'm loving your puzzles. I started with 99th and solved most of them going back in the archive, but I have a problem with this one, as I probably don't understand the rules.

    I've had a stare at this, and was wandering about r3c2. As I understand it, r3c2345 have to be consecutive, because there's a dot between all of them. So now r3c2 can't be 1, because it would need 4 in r3c5, and it's already a 4 in that row. Same with 2, 3, and 4 obviously. There's a 5 in it's column and 6 in it's box. It can't be 7, because it would need a 10 in r3c5.

    There's clearly something wrong with my understanding of the rules, as Aashay and Gaurav solved it, but I can't quite get what it is.

    It would be awesome if you could help.

    Thank you for all the amazing puzzles on the blog.

    Cheers
