Speed Run: Don't take too long, or the popcorn will burn! Bonus for less than 10 minutes to solve. Double bonus for less than 8 minutes to solve. Normal Sudoku rules apply. KROPKI DOTS- Numbers with white dots between them are consecutive. Numbers with black dots between them are in a ratio of 2:1.

6:26 for me, doing it without rushing. A good one for people who are just starting to solve Kropki dots puzzles.

5:05. I'm pleased with my time.

3:23, solver number 771 on SudokuPad website. I noticed one place that the negative constraint let me place a digit, but I wasn't looking for it much as I played.

@SudokuSleuth Thanks for posting the puzzle on your YouTube channel. The system says the puzzle is private, and I can't get in to see it. Peace to you. -Will Power

@SudokuSleuth I don't want to give too much away, but be aware of the skyscraper when skydiving on February 19. Peace to you. -Will Power

@SudokuSleuth If the puzzles I suggested to you from 2022 and 2023 do not make your list, then perhaps my puzzle called "Lucky Clover" for St. Patrick's Day? Also, I think you will enjoy "Starburst" from earlier this week. Thanks. -Will Power

That was a nice little challenge, felt like a real speed solver :)
