Happy New Year and a Healthy 2020

Here is a puzzle with 30 normal Sudoku's, partial overlapping.
The 31th Sudoku is all over the place and connects all digits of "2020".
Overlapping areas are colored light-blue and the 31th explosion Sudoku is colored light-green.

Pretty difficult for a human solver; pretty easy for computer solvers.

SE is between 2.020 and 2.020 + 1/2.020

Hidden Text: Show

Code: Select all

Sudoku's are listed in reading order PER digit of "2020". The 31th Sudoku is the last line.

Hidden singles only, very easy.
In your pasting format: "F8,N-5,N-5" is maybe redundant, can you make it only "F8,N-5" just like previous puzzles?
Or is this a new format rows,columns?

 "F8,N-5,N-5" -->  "F8,N-5" done. Thanks creint.
