The Second Hardest Sudoku
57*** BRAND NEW SUDOKU HUNT JUST OUT ***
Join us on Patreon (for as little as $2) for a brand new sudoku hunt from DiMono, which released at 4pm yesterday. It's a story where you need to solve puzzles to access the later chapters :)
There's also Simon (very very long) solve of Crux mentioned in the video introduction.

*** TODAY'S PUZZLE ***
Simon has attempted two sudokus by the extraordinary Jay Dyer today. One resulted in a video that is 2hr 40mins long (of a puzzle called Crux) and we felt we couldn't inflict this on you. SO we moved onto Gallimaufry which, while still beautiful, is slightly easier :)
Play the puzzle at the link below:
https://app.crackingthecryptic.com/sudoku/6rPQDFRNh8
Rules:
Normal sudoku rules apply. Digits may not repeat on the marked diagonal. Digits on a purple line form a set of nonrepeating consecutive digits, which may be in any order. Any three consecutive cells on an orange line must all have different remainders modulo 3 (ie in three consecutive cells there must be one digit from [147], one digit from [258] and one from [369]. Digits along a thermometer line increase from the bulb end. Digits in a cage sum to the indicated total. Digits separated by a white dot are consecutive. Digits separated by a black dot are in a 1:2 ratio (ie one digit is double the other).
