Cracking The Cryptic | I've Never Seen That In ANY Sudoku! @CrackingTheCryptic | Uploaded 3 weeks ago | Updated 8 hours ago
*** THANK GOODNESS YOU'RE HERE STREAM TONIGHT ***
We're going to play this game live on Sunday night at 10pm UK time! Please be aware that this game does involve a swear word (we're told) so please don't watch if it may offend you. You can watch the stream at this link:

*** TODAY'S PUZZLE ***
ThePedallingPianist wowed us a few days ago with an imitation of Marty Sears called The Hare And The Tortoise. But's that's not all he's been up to... a perfectly ridiculous idea today featuring the rarely seen "infinity" Little Killer clue...!!!
Play the puzzle at the link below:
https://sudokupad.app/eb90s76a4e
Rules:
Normal 6x6 sudoku rules apply (ie place the digits 1-6, once each, into every row, column and 2x3 rectangle).
Shade every cell one of two colours such that each colour forms a single orthogonally connected area and no 2x2 area is entirely one colour.
Clues outside the grid show the sum of the digits in the first continuous run of same-coloured cells along marked diagonals.
The grid is toroidal; i.e. each edge of the grid is considered to be adjacent/orthogonal to its opposite edge. For example, the 2nd cell pointed at by the 22 diagonal clue is r2c1 (and, for the avoidance of doubt, this cell is orthogonally adjacent to r2c6).
