The Miracle Sudoku Of The Year!

** TODAY'S PUZZLE ** Simon opens tonight's sudoku on camera! It's called Casino Royale, it's by Michael Lefkowitz and it'll take a moment or two to realise why Mark thought this would be a good one for a live unveil. Suffice it to say, this is an unbelievable idea/execution etc. Michael has made something very memorable with perhaps the greatest final line of rules ever! (There is also a musical outro today.) Play the puzzle at the links below: https://sudokupad.app/w51sf3oxio?sett... Rules Normal sudoku rules apply. Place nine digits along the line. A digit X in position Y requires a digit Y in position X. (Position 1 being on the far left diamond, position 9 on the far right tip.) Digits on the line are skyscraper clues, i.e. they indicate how many digits in the column are larger than all digits lower down in the column. The grey area sums to an even total. ** BRAND NEW COMPETITION ON PATREON ** On 1 Septmber we released a new Sudoku Hunt competition on Patreon. There's 8 puzzles to solve by 20 September to win the chance to come onto the channel and solve a puzzle with us! Simon has also begun a series of videos attempting a very difficult cryptic crossword called Periodic Location by Nebuchadnezzar. Episode 3 will be released tomorrow!   / 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/hj-J9oRDHOU ▶ ZETAMATH'S WORM: OUR BRAND NEW APP ◀ We've released a brand new collection of sudoku puzzles by Blobz.
