A Puzzle To Make You Weep With Frustration Then Joy!
1,920Today's puzzle sees the return of Qodec with a sensational sudoku called Herringbone. But how do you start it?! You can play the puzzle at the following link:
https://app.crackingthecryptic.com/sudoku/9pHpmQqr79
Rules:
Normal sudoku rules apply. In cages, digits must sum to the small clue in the top left corner of the cage. Along thermometers, digits must increase from the bulb end. Grey lines (without circles) are palindromes ie the digits in both tips are equal.
*** Two Truths And A Lie by zetamath ***
This puzzle is incredible, one of the best we've ever seen. But it does contain an enormous ruleset - especially if the rules are fully explained. Give the puzzle a try on the link below and watch out for Simon's video on how to solve it - which will either be on Patreon or on the channel shortly.
