That is actually what the name is supposed to be, sorry for missing it. It'll be changed, thank you! :)

Version 2 of the IB is now published. As always, changes have been made on the doc, the example links may not be completely consistent.

Changes -
- Points distribution added.
- PB Pages added.
- Change made to names (Faded Kropki to Faded Kropki Pairs and 1-2 Consecutive Pairs to 1-2 Difference Pairs), both are the names the author intended, and make more sense for the variant too.
- Small text added to Faded Kropki Pairs rules to allow for 1-2 pair being both 'consecutive' and 'one digit double of the other'.
- Small text change to Pencil Marks rules so that there's no confusion in the PB where it says "The part in brackets is for the large puzzle".
