** TODAY'S PUZZLE **
For the last 10 Fridays we've attempted one of Marty Sears' Rat Run sudokus but, with Season 2 ending last week, we're a little bereft this week while Finkz takes her holiday.

However.... Marty has another sudoku out. It's called Mean Quartet and Simon is very unsure whether his solve is sensible or, more likely, quite quite mad... All we hope is that it's logical and at least a little entertaining to watch X)

Play the puzzle at the link below:

Rules:
For each 4x4 quadrant of the grid, choose 4 of the digits from 0-9, and use them to fill that quadrant so that no digit repeats in any marked 2x2 box. In the overall 8x8 grid, no digit may repeat in any row or column. Digits on the pink line form a non-repeating consecutive sequence which can appear in any order along the line. Box borders divide a blue line into segments whose digits each have the same sum. Digits along a green line have a difference of at least 5. No two digits anywhere on a yellow line may be consecutive or the same.
