Once Every Four Years Comes Such A Puzzle...
* TODAY'S PUZZLE ** Happy Leap Day! The 29 February doesn't appear too often and we have a great way to celebrate it today in the form of arctan's new sudoku. Simply rules and the digits 2 and 9 used to provide ALL the clues! Have a go at the puzzle here: https://sudokupad.app/36fnN33h7L Rules: Normal sudoku rules apply. Digits in cages sum to the indicated total, as do digits along diagonals. In both cases, digits may repeat if allowed by other rules. To celebrate leap day (29 February), totals for cages and diagonals 'leap' over twos and nines (i.e. these digits count as zero towards the sum of any cages/diagonals they appear in/on). ** HEXCELLS STREAM TONIGHT ** Our latest Hexcells stream was streamed last night. You can watch it here: https://youtube.com/live/ZQTJXTtIu60 ** PATREON BONUS CONTENT INCOMING ** Tomorrow we publish a new sudoku hunt, Evening Attractions, themed around Negative Constraints as our March competition. They'll also be a bonus crossword video from Simon and his solve of Region Geometry by Emre Kolotoğlu.
