A New Sudoku Theorem
1,961*** TODAY'S PUZZLE ***
Aad van de Wetering returns to the channel today with a puzzle to demonstrate a new sudoku theorem! The puzzle is called Theorema van Thoen - we think Thoen refers to Aad's friend and co-book-author Aad Thoen. It's a very interesting sudoku indeed and you can play it at the link below:
https://app.crackingthecryptic.com/sudoku/3bLj4rptT3
Rules:
Normal sudoku rules apply. Cells separated by a knight's move (in chess) cannot contain the same digit. The yellow line is a palindrome and must read the same backwards and forwards. Digits along an arrow must sum to the digit in that arrow's circle.
Thanks to Pim Shreurs for the music at the end of the video, which is called "The Maximum Of 5 Colors" and which we really like. Please note that Pim's Twitter handle is @sirxemic (there is a typo in the outro text).
