*** TODAY'S PUZZLE ***
Two of the most enjoyable things in the world of sudoku: fog of war AND Marty Sears! These two things combine tonight in a puzzle full of the cleverness and panache that we've come to expect from one of the most original setters out there. The title of this video could have been 'An Hour Of Being Made To Feel Stupid And Yet Loving Every Second Of It!"

Rules:
Normal sudoku rules apply. Enter correct digits to clear fog. No guessing is necessary. In every row, column and box, there is exactly one 'pseudo cell'. The digits 1-9 each appear once in a pseudo cell. The real value of a pseudo cell is calculated by adding its row number to its column number. Eg: if there is a pseudo cell in r8c5, it has the value of 13, regardless of which digit is in that cell. On a lavender 'zipper' line, the values of any pair of cells that are an equal distance from the central spot always sum to the value on that central spot. On a turquoise 'same difference' line, the values of adjacent cells always have the same difference (but this difference may be different for different turquoise lines.) Values joined by a V sum to 5.
