** TODAY'S PUZZLE **
The return of one of our favourite constructors tonight, Aspartagcus! And a remarkable sudoku which features the picture of a 2B Pencil (which is also the name of the puzzle). We had a strong recommendation to try this from another great puzzle-maker, Peter Veenis - but we weren't sure how difficult it was... Simon's still not sure! It might be a little harder than we thought ;)

Play the puzzle at the link below:

Rules:
Normal sudoku rules apply. Neighbouring digits along the line must differ by at least 5. Two of the cells covered by the circle contain the same digit.
