The Fog Of War Sudoku With Perfect Symmetry??!

** TODAY'S PUZZLE ** Mark has tackled a curlingclips puzzle on the channel before (back in February) but tonight it's Simon's turn. One of the most original ideas we've seen - the grid is absolutely 90 degree rotationally symmetric - which makes it very hard to see what to do... Can you figure it out? Play the puzzle at the links below: https://sudokupad.app/098obl852j Rules Normal sudoku rules apply. Digits along a thermometer must increase from the bulb end to the tip. Digits separated by an X must sum to 10. Digits separated by a V must sum to 5. Not all possible Xs and Vs are necessarily given. All thermometer bulbs are initially covered in fog. Placing correct digit in a cell may remove fog from that cell, and may also reveal XV clues. ** BRAND NEW COMPETITION ON PATREON ** On 1 September we released a new Sudoku Hunt competition on Patreon. The solution videos are now out! Simon has also completed a series of videos attempting a very challenging cryptic crossword called Periodic Location by Nebuchadnezzar.
