*** TODAY'S PUZZLE ***
The wonderful Qodec returns to the channel today with a beautiful new type of sudoku line: the Parity Counter! It leads to some unusual and lovely logic, as we've come to expect from this constructor - do try and have a go!

Play the puzzle at the following link:

Rules:
Normal sudoku rules apply. The digit on one endpoint of a blue line indicates the total number of even digits on the line while the digit on the other end indicates the total number of odd digits on the line. These totals include the digits on the endpoints. A white dot between two cells means that the values of those cells must be consecutive. Not all dots are necessarily given.
