*** TODAY'S PUZZLE ***
With the most inaptly-named sudoku ever, arbitrary returns to the channel today with One Trick Pony, a puzzle that requires any number of tricks to solve!! After yesterday's "easy" arrow sudoku, today we face a rather different animal (pony)... but it's every bit as brilliant.

Play the puzzle at the link below:
https://sudokupad.app/rdb3z3k51d

Rules:
Normal sudoku rules apply. Digits in cages sum to the indicated value. Digits along an arrow sum to the digit in that arrow’s circle.

Thanks to all of you who have helped us achieve the milestone of 600,000 subscribers on YouTube. Below you can find a link to a free puzzle pack we have curated to celebrate :)
