In honor of International Sudoku Day on September 9, for each #NoSuchPuzzle this month, we give you a bite-sized Sudoku. Find the numbers along the two main diagonals from upper left to lower right followed by lower left to upper right.
Instructions: Fill in the cells of the n-by-n grid with the numbers 1 to n so that every row, column, and outlined rectangle contain each digit exactly once. Special symbols designate relationships between adjacent cells:
- White circle: The adjacent digits are consecutive (in some order).
- Black circle: One of the adjacent digits is double the other.
- Letter V: The adjacent digits have a sum of five.
- Letter X: The adjacent digits have a sum of ten.
Can you solve the first Sudoku? Be sure to check back each Saturday at 9 a.m. for the next Sudoku!
