Is This Sudoku Impossible? Only 11 People Say "No".
1,400** TODAY'S PUZZLE **
We want to take the opportunity of wishing one the great sudoku constructors a very happy birthday! Dorlir, the maths professor, celebrates today and so Simon decided to try one of his puzzles...
Clasp Locker is a brilliant Zipper-line sudoku but it is absolutely crazy. We apologise for the slightly lengthy video today but, unless Simon missed something, this is quite difficult...
Play the puzzle at the link below:

Rules:
Normal sudoku rules apply. Digits an equal distance from the centre of a purple line must sum to the digit in the centre of that purple line (marked with a dot).
