While I’m not delivering the highly anticipated Supersized Kropki today, I did realize that we haven’t had a number placement puzzle in a little while! So here’s a Supersized TomTom, themed around my favorite number, 8. Like a lot of Latin Square genres, TomTom can take a while to solve on a large grid (and especially on mobile), so the time standards for this puzzle are longer than usual for GAPP. You can do it! 😄 🎉

Rules: Place a number from 1 to N into each cell so that each row and column contains every number from that range with no repeats, where N is the side length of the grid. A clue represents the value obtained by applying an operation iteratively on the numbers in the region the clue is in. If no operation is given, it may be any of +, -, ×, or ÷. Subtraction and division in regions with more than two numbers are handled by taking the largest number and subtracting/dividing all the others. A region with a single cell contains the number in its clue.
