*** TODAY'S PUZZLE *** This might be the most ridiculous sudoku we've ever featured. Simon is still shaking his head about this puzzle actually existing. The Miracle Sudoku was miraculous but this... this is SO ludicrous... welcome to Jörmungandr by Jay Dyer. Prepare to have your mind blown. Play the puzzle at the link below: https://tinyurl.com/yt5dzj2f Rules: Contained within the grid are nine non-overlapping 3x3 square regions, which must be located. Each region contains the digits 1-9 once each such that no digit repeats in any row or column. Cells outside regions do not contain digits. Along the line, each time the line passes through a region, the sum of the digits on that pass sum to the same value. If the line passes through a region multiple times, each pass is summed separately. If you manage to solve this one and want more sudoku then give this puzzle from Sam Cavnar-Johnson a try: https://app.crackingthecryptic.com/sudoku/HM2hg3Pngf It's a classic sudoku with a very cool trick. On Patreon we've released a solve video showing Mark's solve (not knowing the trick) and then Simon's explanation of how to go about it differently :) For those of you interested in the puzzle Adventure by Jon Schneider (mentioned in the video) there is a video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fZ4OH8Bd71E&ab_channel=CrackingTheCryptic *** PATREON REWARDS JUST OUT *** Join us on Patreon to participate in the two new competitions!
