** TODAY'S PUZZLE **
We attempt one of the most well-regarded sudokus of recent times tonight in the form of Nordy's Original Sin. It's just a gorgeous puzzle with an interesting (but very understandable!) ruleset and some lovely logic. Well worth your precious puzzling time.
Play the puzzle at the link below:

Rules:
Normal sudoku rules apply.
Each snake-circle contains a different digit and is the end of a snake that moves orthogonally through the grid. Snakes cannot touch themselves or each other orthogonally, but they may touch themselves and each other diagonally. The digit in the snake-circle is the length of that snake. Orthogonally-connected groups of non-snake cells are called "gardens." Digits cannot repeat on a snake or in a garden. A small number clue in the top-left corner of a cell gives the sum of the digits in the snake or garden that contains that clue. (You can think of snakes and gardens as Killer Cages, where some of the sums have been given).
Digits joined by a red apple cannot contain a 5; cannot both be low (1234); cannot both be high (6789); cannot both be even (2468); and cannot both be odd (1379)
(The musical intro today is, of course, the opening bars of Superman by John Williams.)
