It’s a banger film.
Rajamouli redefined the Indian blockbuster, and he’s continued to be at the absolute top of his game there.

Which one

It was fun.

(Timer is a bit skewed, cause I was doing my job as well, but this puzzle was mesmerizing…)

long description

Biggest clue that the zero sandwich means the 9 and 1 are either next to each other or exactly 3 numbers are inbetween.

(For 7 or 8 to have a three number sum, it needs to use a 1 so there can’t be 4 gaps between a 1 and 9, and 2 numbers can’t be the same in the same row/col so it’s impossible to achieve zero sum with exactly two numbers.)

Also the 35 clue meant either 1 or 9 in row 1 is inverted (and the are at the two end of row 1.
You can achive 32 sandwich only with excluding a 3, (you can’t achive this sum with any inverted number) and since col 9 has a 0 clue, r9c9 can’t be a 1. (You can’t make zero with 7 numbers.)

Forcing the 19 pair into r9c1 and r9c8.
Since r9c1 is forced to be a 9, there has to be an inverted 3 in col 1. So in row 1, r1c9 has to be inverted. Since the 9 in col 9 is inverted the 1 need to be next to him, and the 9 in row 2 is forced on column 5. Since col 1 and 9 can’t have either more 1s, the 1 in column 5 is forced into row 6.

Row 9, the 1 is forced to be inverted. (Since the 3 in r9c9 can’t be from multiple reasons.)

Since each box can only 1 inverted number, r2c6 is forced to be inverted, and 1 of r4c5 and r5c5 is col 5.

R6c8 can’t be a 9, otherwhise col 8 sandwich become impossible, also r6c7 can’t be a 9, otherwhise there would be 2 inverted number in box 5.

So row 6, the 9 is forced in col 2. And r6c3 has to be inverted.

At this point row 7 can have a negative sandwich only if r7c4 is inverted. (Cause of the 8 col sandwich
r7c7 can’t be a sandwich number)

Since col 3, and box 2 both already have an inverted number, the zero clue in row 3 can happen only if 1 and 9 are next to each other, which makes the r3c3-4 a 1/9 pair, which also force the col 9 in col 4. Which forces the 9 in col 8, which forces the 1 in column 7. (All three of them because of sandwiches.)

The only way the sandwich in col 7 can happen now, if it’s a 78 pair. And none of those can be inverted, 1 has alread an inverted number, and box 9 already has an inverted number , so the last inverted number (you can deduce at this point) is in r4c7

The inverted numbers in col 1 and 2 will be revealed only after some math and sudoku. But at this point, most people would be able to solve the rest.

btw out of curiosity is it normal for a college to like reduce the scholarship they give based on last-semester grades

idk about that but revoking scholarships for not keeping a certain gpa threshold is normal

As an expert in perfectly normal universities it’s normal to have an explicit GPA threshold in the fine print of the scholarship, if there was no note whatsoever that they could do this to you in the documents then that’s weird IMO

is it normal for universities to make you work a job to keep your scholarships or is mine just cash starved
