Sudoku Is No Longer Just About The Digits 1 to 9!
1,859*** Today's Sudoku***
Another masterpiece of originality today as Kit combines sudoku with the awesome Japanese pencil puzzle Heyawake. This is SUCH a cool idea and it's executed beautifully.
You can play it at the link below:

Rules:
Normal sudoku rules apply. Digits cannot repeat in cages or along the main (marked) diagonals. Each cell in the grid must be shaded dark or light according to the following rules: 1) within cages, the dark cells will sum to the cage's total (if given); 2) dark cells may not be orthogonally adjacent to one another; 3) all the light cells must be orthogonally connected in a single group; 4) a straight (orthogonal) line of light cells cannot span across more than two cages; and 5) the dark cells along the two main diagonals must sum to the same total.
