Sudoku Rules Do Not Apply!
1,924Today's sudoku is NOT A SUDOKU!! This is a beautiful twist on the logic puzzle Fillomino from Mark Sweep (Frostini on Discord). Do let us know if you enjoy our occasional forays into the world of non-sudoku problems. Watch out for Clover's reaction video to Simon's solve of her recent puzzle Everest on the channel tomorrow morning.
You can play Chaos Fillomino at the following link:

If you prefer to solve Fillomino in Penpa then the link is here:

Rules:
Divide the grid into regions, such that no two regions of the same size touch orthogonally. Each cell contains a digit that indicates the size of the polyomino it is in. Clues outside the grid indicate the distance to the first seen highest digit in the corresponding row/column. So, starting from a clue X, the Xth cell from that direction is the first appearance of the highest value in the row/column. Eg the 2 in row 2 means that r2c8 contains the highest digit in that row (although r2c1 to r2c7 may or may not have the same value.)
*** Two Truths And A Lie by zetamath ***
This puzzle is incredible, one of the best we've ever seen. But it does contain an enormous ruleset - especially if the rules are fully explained. Give the puzzle a try on the link below and watch out for Simon's video on how to solve it. The video is available now on Patreon tonight and will appear on the channel in the coming days.
