*** TODAY'S PUZZLE ***
Two of our videos have been viewed over 5 million times. In both videos the puzzle featured was by the Dutch legend Aad van de Wetering. Tonight we're delighted to attempt his new puzzle (also with 2 given digits); it's got the archetypal short ruleset Aad is famous for and, as Simon says in the video, it just makes you feel happy as you solve it!
Play the puzzle at the links below:
https://sudokupad.app/musrlacrf2
Rules:
Normal sudoku rules apply. Digits on a grey line have values between the two circled digits at the ends of that line. In addition, the digit in one circle is equal to the sum of the digits on the line AND the digit in the other circle.
