How Can A Sudoku Only Have The Digits 9 And 10?
1,371*** LIVESTREAM TONIGHT ***
Simon will attempt the new Phistomefel sudoku tonight at 9pm UK time (so 30minutes after this video is released). This puzzle is supposed to be unbelievably difficult and so, if he fails to solve it, please do remember to be kind.

*****************************************
Today's sudoku is another extraordinary invention from the mind of Emre Kolotoglu. 9s to the left of me, 10s to the right - here I am, stuck in the middle with you!! Play it at the following link:

Rules:
Normal sudoku rules apply. In cages, digits must sum to the small clue in the top left corner of the cage. Cells separated by a knight's move (in chess) cannot contain the same digit.
*** Our Book ***
The PDF is available as of today and the physical copy shouldn't be far behind. If you don't own the book then it can still be ordered here:

*** Our Patreon - The Best Sudoku Club In The World ***
You can join us on Patreon for as little as $2/month and access a lot of extra content. Mark has added his solve of the example from Phistomefel's new puzzle! This will give you an idea of what Simon will face later this evening.
