*** TODAY'S PUZZLE ***
This puzzle - called Coordinated Killers by Samish - has been recommended to us many times. It seems like the small change to normal killer sudoku rules might not do too much - until you try and solve it!!! This is VERY clever puzzle making.
Play it at the link below:

Rules:
Normal sudoku rules apply. In cages, digits may not repeat and each cage (clued as a small number in its top left corner) is either a "killer" cage or a "coordinate" cage. In killer cages, the clue gives the sum of the digits in the cage. In coordinate cages, the clue spells out the coordinates of a cell that is the sum of the digits in the cage. The solver must determine which cage is which. eg if a cage's clue is 12 then its digits either sum to 12 or to the digit in r1c2 (ie row 1, column 2).

As well as the Phistomefel and Jay Dyer extravaganzas, Simon's solve of Magnus Josefsson's new puzzle Castle Wall Yin Yang #1 is now available as a bonus video. You can play the puzzle at the link below (and the logic-masters link contains an example):
