Check it out (and the bonus puzzle exclusively for SudokuPad we tweeted today on @crypticcracking).
*** Today's Sudoku ***
Today's sudoku comes from China and it's a slighly easier form of the livestream puzzle Simon attempted earlier in the week. There is a ton of beautiful logic in this one: Play the puzzle at the following link:
https://app.crackingthecryptic.com/sudoku/6JBh99JDJJ
Rules:
The grid must be divided into regions, each containing 9 cells. Each row, column and region must contain the digits 1 to 9 once each. A number outside the grid gives the sum of the first M cells of the row/column from that direction. M is the number of region borders in that row/column. The 4 cells surrounding a circle must belong to the same region. The 4 cells surrounding a black square belong to exactly three different regions. All unmarked 2x2 areas belong to two or four regions.
*** More Patreon Content ***
Simon released a video on Patreon on Tuesday where he attempts the first 8 puzzles from the new Genuinely Approachable Pencil Puzzle series on Discord. There are also the solution videos to our November monthly reward, the Japanese Sum Sudoku hunt from Panthera and TheAsylm. You can join us on Patreon for as little as $2/month here:

*** 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:
