Sorry Sudoku Solver Tries To Make Amends

** TODAY'S PUZZLE ** An absolutely lovely sudoku tonight from Ratfinkz (recommended by Marty Sears no less) called Every Hit Counts. The introduction to the video also includes Simon going over some of yesterday's logic in IcyFruit's Diamondback puzzle for those of you who were understandably upset during his solve thereof. Play the puzzle at the links below: https://sudokupad.app/gfx29v36nv Rules Normal sudoku rules apply. Beige lines are "hit point lines": Counting the diamond as position one, digits in their correct position must sum to the number in the diamond (eg a line who's diamond was the value 9 may be made up 93145 as 4&5 are in the 4th and 5th position and sum to 9 fulfilling the diamonds requirements). Digits may not repeat along a line (the digit in the diamond is considered on the line and may not appear elsewhere along its line). Digits in the diamonds also count how many different lines they appear on, including themselves (eg if a diamond contained the number 3 it would appear, in any position, on two more lines). Digits which don't appear in a diamond have no limitations as to how many lines they appear on. ▶ BRAND NEW CRYPTIC SNAKEWORDS VIDEO ON PATREON ◀ As well as our monthly competitions, you can find Simon's new solve of Marty Sears' Cryptic Snakewords on Patreon now!   / crackingthecryptic   ▶ LAST NIGHT'S STREAM: LORELEI AND THE LASER EYES ◀ You can (re)watch tonight's stream of Lorelei and the Laser Eyes here: https://youtube.com/live/4x48s0DGAIM ▶ ZETAMATH'S WORM: OUR BRAND NEW APP ◀ We've released a brand new collection of sudoku puzzles by Blobz.
