I had an unsolved 1 star sudoku puzzle that I accidentally left folded up on my desk. I asked someone to scan it and email it to me but they didn't unfold it before doing so! Can you still solve this 1 star puzzle?
-Ordinary sudoku rules apply
-Note that the 3 and 8 are symmetric across the horizontal axis
-Note that you can't actually tell which number is on top of a pile
To make things easier, here is how I folded the puzzle
Here is the puzzle as well as a sample of my handwriting. Enjoy! :)
Solution code: Row 4 followed by column 1

I like the concept of this puzzle. Very nice indeed. I think the coloured numbers make it a far more appealing puzzle to attempt :)
Response: Thank you! I really appreciate that feedback and give credit to Narayana for that suggestion. I'm a little surprised you found this puzzle after all this time :)

Thank you for the puzzle! That was fun! :D
@panthchesh I was curious to see if anyone had what it takes to master this wild beast. I'm glad it was you! Thanks as always :)
