We are so close to 700,000 Subscribers... If you aren't subscribed, please do consider it :) ** TODAY'S PUZZLE ** The Pi Guy has been following the channel for a while (thank you) and has made a really fantastic fog-of-war sudoku with one of the most innovative break-ins we've seen. Lots going on musically today too :) Play the puzzle at the links below: https://sudokupad.app/jcj5nibbdm Rules: Sudoku: Normal sudoku rules apply; put the digits 1 to 9 once each into every row, column & 3 by 3 box. (U2 - One, Fleetwood Mac - Everywhere) Fog: The grid is covered in fog, some of which has been cleared. Place digits correctly to clear more fog. Fog may clear at any time and from anywhere in the grid. (Madness - Grey Day, Lighthouse Family - Lifted, KT Tunstall - Suddenly I See) Cages: The digits in each cage (area with a dotted outline) must sum to the same total, which is to be deduced. (Coldplay - In My Place, Keane - Somewhere [Sum Where] Only We Know) Thermometers: Digits on a thermometer must increase from the bulb (the end with the circle) to the tip. (M People - Moving On Up) Renbans: Digits on a purple line (hollow) must form a consecutive sequence in some order, with no repeats (e.g. 1-2-3). (Snow Patrol - Run) Nabners: Digits on a yellow line (normal) must not be consecutive (e.g. 1-4-9, no digit is consecutive with any of the others). (Coldplay - Yellow, Keane - We Might As Well Be Strangers) Dutch whispers: Digits in cells that are next to each other on an orange line (dashed) must be at least 4 apart (e.g. 1-9-5). (Imagine Dragons - Amsterdam, Coldplay - A Whisper, Dire Straits - So Far Away) [All lines go through at least two cells and they never branch or cut off. Lines and thermometers may move diagonally.] No repeats on a constraint: When considered together, all clues that follow the same constraint (e.g. renbans) must include each of the digits 1 to 9 exactly once (the renbans could be 1-2-3, 4-5 & 6-7-8-9). (Keane - Everybody’s Changing, Bryan Adams - The Only One) ▶ BLUE PRINCE THIS WEEK ◀ This week's Blue Prince stream is available to watch here: https://youtube.com/live/9r4myloEFUU ▶ ZETAMATH'S WORM: OUR BRAND NEW APP ◀ We've released a brand new collection of sudoku puzzles by Blobz.
