Does So-called "Sudoku Expert" Make A Mistake??

NOTE: Simon has recorded his solve of Marty Sears' Rat Run 40: The Big One. This will be released on the channel tomorrow night because the video is so long it will take most of this evening to upload it on to YouTube. Shoutout to whoever guesses the length of the video closest in tonight's comments!! ** TODAY'S PUZZLE ** We've had this Fog-Of-War sudoku, Bullseye! by Lorena, recommended to us a lot over the last month or two. It features one of the great preambles and, without wanting to give too much away, it's well worth having a go at (and it is very approachable!) Play the puzzle at the links below: https://sudokupad.app/rrhrws2x7f Rules: Oh, no! The Wicked Witch Lorena has cursed you with forgetting all numbers! Fortunately for you, the International Accord on Curses, Hexes and Jinxes of 1692 forbids unbreakable curses so, like it or not, she must ensure that there is a way to get out of it. It’s the law! But that doesn’t mean she has to make it easy. Cruel as she is, she has determined that the only way for you to fully break the curse will be to solve this sudoku. Luckily, as the fog lifts in your mind, the numbers will gradually start to come back to you. Once a given digit appears in the grid for the first time, you may use it to fill in cells. If a digit hasn’t yet made an appearance, you are not allowed to use it (pencilmarks are okay). Placing a correct digit may or may not remove fog anywhere in the grid. Digits cannot repeat in any row, column or marked 3x3 box. Cells separated by a white dot must contain consecutive digits. Cells separated by a black dot must contain digits in a 2:1 ratio (i.e. one of the digits must be double the other). Grey palindrome lines must read the same in both directions. Adjacent digits in a green German whispers line must differ by at least 5. Breaking these rules or trying to guess digits at random to clear the fog might end up with you being turned into a frog, so consider yourself warned. Note: Yes, you remember the concept of numbers, so you can understand the rules. You’re still not allowed to use them until you see them in the grid. Nice try, though. ▶ LAST NIGHT'S BLUE PRINCE STREAM ◀ You can rewatch here: https://youtube.com/live/4WZMMJLXRB0 ▶ ZETAMATH'S WORM: OUR BRAND NEW APP ◀ We've released a brand new collection of sudoku puzzles by Blobz.
