Drew's Crew Forever

(Published on 20. March 2026, 21:22 by timotab)

This puzzle is in memory of Drew Patchin, 3/20/2013 - 1/1/2026. Drew was a warrior who battled brain cancer for many years. He inspired others with his bravery, dealing with hard things, and wrote a book to encourage other kids going through tough times, called Marshmallow Can Do Hard Things. Please check it out. The grid elements represent a grey ribbon, for brain cancer awareness, and a gold ribbon for childhood cancer awareness.
  • Normal Sudoku rules apply: Place the digits 1 to 9 once each in every row, column, and box.
  • Digits on a grey thermometer strictly increase from the bulb end.
  • No two digits on a gold line can be consecutive, regardless of their position on the line. Digits may not repeat on a gold line.
  • Where digits are separated by a black dot, one is double the other.

Easy, but fun puzzle.
Thank you for sharing Drew's story. I am sure his legacy will bring joy and give strength to many children, who face hard times.

I had the same trouble with the yellow line instructions. After I understood it was smooth sailing.

I also misinterpreted the gold line instruction and made it almost until the end until conflicts appeared...

The gold line is a Nabner line.. somehow I find the description not clear.

According to the dates given, Drew was only 12 years old, that's heartbreaking. This puzzle is a great tribute, fittingly posted on what would have been his 13th birthday.

@SanFranSam Thanks for your input. I would not have solved it without that.

Um not to complain but I interpreted "no pair of digits on a line" to mean consecutive digits. It meant no two digits anywhere on the line can't be consecutive. Once i figured that out it was fine.

What a lovely tribute, rest in peace Drew.
