One of the puzzle names seems intuitive enough, but the others are all pretty out-of-nowhere.

If you’re a student starting a new school year, and you’re anything like me, I hope you enjoy these puzzles while sort of paying attention in class.

This being a prime week kind of snuck up on me, so you’re going to have to assemble the prime bonus puzzle yourself.

It occurs to me belatedly that it might have been nice to do something World Cup-themed, but, ironically, I’ve been too distracted by the World Cup.

One of the fun things about the prime bonus puzzles is that (I like to assume) they’re always a surprise. Like, did you know off the top of your head that 233 is prime? I certainly didn’t.

I don’t recall exactly why I chose to name a puzzle after the fundamental rule of improv comedy, but I *think* my reasons were more positive than negative.

Artisanal Sudoku, Volume 230

This feels like another slate where there’ll be quibbling about the difficulty ratings. Especially with the third puzzle. And the second one. And both bonus puzzles.

The multiples of 45 are my favorite posts of the year, so it’s nice that they actually come along every ten months or so.

Starting to feel like I’m getting a little *too* generous with given digits, tbh.

Feels like I should’ve found a way to make this one 2-themed. Well, roughly 11% of the digits in the puzzles are 2, so there’s that.

For anyone expecting a Prime Week Bonus Puzzle, sorry! You’ll have to wait two more weeks, this one’s a multiple of 13 and 17.
