The Easier Way To Solve Hard Sudoku
1,307Today sees a fascinating debut on the channel for BIGfoot with a puzzle called Cithara. Now there are different ways to approach this sudoku. Simon finds a way but, to quote Yoda, there is another. Which will you find and which is better? You can play it at the following link:

Rules:
Normal sudoku rules apply. Digits cannot repeat on either main diagonal (marked in blue). Clues outside the grid give the sum of the digits along the indicated diagonal. Digits may repeat along such a diagonal if allowed by other rules. Each purple line contains a set of consecutive, non-repeating digits (which can be in any order).
*** Our Book ***
The PDF is available as of today and the physical copy shouldn't be far behind. If you don't own the book then it can still be ordered here:
