($2 a month for puzzles, $3 a month for puzzles and solution videos).
This week's puzzles have all seemed have virtually no information in them. Today's really takes the biscuit. RockyRoer's Sunflower has no digits, no cage totals and ambiguous kropki dots. It's not likely to be easy :) Give it a try at the following link:

Rules:
Normal sudoku rules apply. Cells separated by a knight's move (in chess) cannot contain the same digit. Digits in each cage sum to the same total, which must be deduced. Cells separated by an orange dot contain digits that are either consecutive or in a 1:2 ratio (or both).
Sam Cappleman-Lynes has made an extremely clever 6x6x6 set of puzzles. We have released a solution video for this puzzle on Patreon and you can try to solve it yourself at these links (one to our software, one to penpa (which allows you to increase the size of the grids):
