1,204*** NEW SUDOKU HUNT INCOMING TOMORROW ***
A new sudoku hunt, The Planets Suite, will be released tomorrow at 4pm UK time on Patreon. It's one of our own and should be slightly easier this month. Well done to all of you who solved DiMono's Jewels Of Osiris hunt this month - watch today's introduction for details on the best entries (and the outro for the roll call of all successful solvers.)

*** TODAY'S PUZZLE ***
VikingPrime's Reversing Valve is one of those puzzles that almost makes you laugh by the way it completely messes with your head! It's not that hard but it requires a bit of re-learning :)
Play the puzzle at the link below:
https://app.crackingthecryptic.com/sudoku/9pdTNMfMPF
Rules:
Normal sudoku rules apply. The value of digits within a cage must sum to the small clue in the top-left corner of the cage. Digits must not repeat within a cage (but values may repeat). The value of digits along a thermometer must increase from the bulb to the tip. There are 9 Hot cells contained within the grid comprised of a set of the digits 1-to-9. Each row, column and box contains exactly one Hot cell. There are nine 9 Cold cells contained within the grid following the same rules as the Hot cells. A cell may have only one of these roles. For cages and thermometer values, Hot cells increase the value of the contained digit by 1; and Cold cells decrease the value of the contained digit by 1.
