Thanks heliopolix! I have to say it, the SudokuPad saved my life while determining the orange dot difference eheh 90 min of fun! I’m pretty new to the site and I don’t know if I can write how long it took for me to solve the puzzle here in the comment section, I just think it’s a valuable information ^^
