** TODAY'S PUZZLE **
A very HAPPY NEW YEAR to all our viewers! Thank you so much for enjoying these puzzles with us.

We have a very rare beast today in the form of a 2/5 difficulty WROGN sudoku. It's called Yin Yagn and it's by Timotab (and it's been recommended to us about 20 times!!). Don't worry about the long rules - everything is pretty standard. Just make sure you understand exactly what qualifies as a clue being wrong!

Play the puzzle at the link below:

Rules:
Normal sudoku rules apply: Place the digits 1-9 in every row, column, and box, without repetition.
Yin Yang: Shade some cells such that all shaded cells are orthogonally connected, all unshaded cells are orthogonally connected, and no 2x2 area is fully shaded or fully unshaded.
A clue that is in cells that are all shaded or all unshaded is RIGHT. A clue that has at least one cell shaded and at least one cell unshaded is very, very WROGN. See below for exact definitions of WROGN clues.
RIGHT Cages: Digits in cages must sum to the value in the top left corner of the cage.
RIGHT Kropki: Where digits are separated by a black dot, one must be double the other. Not all dots are necessarily given.
RIGHT Renban: Digits on a purple line form a set of non-repeating, consecutive digits in any order.
RIGHT Nabner: No two digits on a gold line can be consecutive, regardless of their position on the line. Digits may not repeat on lines.
RIGHT Quadruples: Digits in a Quadruple circle must be placed at least once in the four cells touching that circle.
WROGN Cages: Digits in cages must not sum to the value in the top left corner of the cage.
WROGN Kropki: Where digits are separated by a black dot, neither is allowed to be double the other.
WROGN Renban: No two digits on a purple line can be consecutive, regardless of their position on the line. Digits may not repeat on lines.(ie, WROGN renban lines are RIGHT nabner lines).
WROGN Nabner: Digits on a gold line form a set of non-repeating, consecutive digits in any order. (ie, WROGN nabner lines are RIGHT renban lines)
WROGN Quadruples: Digits in a Quadruple circle must not be placed at all in the four cells touching that circle.

The musical intro today is, of course, Happy New Year by Abba.
