*** TODAY'S PUZZLE ***
Another extraordinary construction to try today in the form of Above Average On Average from Jeet Sampat. This proved very difficult for our testers but it is an incredibly clever and interesting puzzle. All the clues are decidedly average and don't seem to tell you anything useful at all - what's going on?!

Play the puzzle at the link below:

Rules:
Normal sudoku rules apply. A clue outside the grid gives the sum of digits along the indicated diagonal. Digits within a cage sum to the small clue in the top-left corner of the cage. The green line connects digits with a difference of 5 or more.
