1,201*** TODAY'S PUZZLE ***
In a week of extraordinary sudokus we turn to a Senator for today's puzzle! Senator Gronk's Chaos Circles is a seriously clever and beautiful sudoku - it is tricky but has a lovely smooth feel to it once you get going. Enjoy!

Rules:
Each row, column and region contain the digits 1 to 9 with no repeats. Regions consist of 9 orthogonally connected cells and must be determined. Circled digits indicate exactly how many circles contain that digit. Digits in cages indicate the number of cells in its own region that cage can “see” orthogonally (including itself). Region borders block line of sight. Not all cages are necessarily given.
