How To Create A Sudoku Masterpiece: Knickolas
843** Bonus Video **
A couple of weeks ago, Simon solved one of the best sudokus we've ever seen: Chaotic Equality by Knickolas. We're delighted to tell you that Knickolas has made a special video explaining how he created this incredible puzzle.
Do remember to try the puzzle before you watch the video - it contains SPOILERS!!
Play the puzzle at the link below:

Rules:
Divide the grid into nine regions, each consisting of nine orthogonally-connected cells. Each row, column and region must contain the digits 1 to 9 once each. Each line must pass through at least two regions. A “line segment” consists of the digits along the line within a region from the point that line starts in that region to when it next leaves it (or ends). The sum of digits along each line segment along a line must be the same. Different lines can have different line segment totals. Digits in a circle indicate the number of cells that are part of a line in that cell's region.
