Nice puzzle, especially since it's a kind of Window Sudoku. :) The only pity is the solution code. 18 numbers are unnecessary.
- Thank you for your feedback. The reason I ask for 18 digits is when I first began setting, I was flooded with comments that my solution codes were too short. Once I went to an 18-digit format, those comments stopped. I'm beginning to see now comments about 18 being too many. It's definitely a balancing act. Thanks for playing the puzzle! Cheers! - Tingo
