*** TODAY'S PUZZLE ***
After a couple of days with some extremely difficult sudokus, today we relax things a little with Diamond In The Rough by fjam, which may be easier but it's still full of beautiful ideas and logic.

Rules:
Normal sudoku rules apply. Box borders divide each blue line into segments with the same sum. Cells separated by a black dot must contain digits with a ratio of 1:2. Not all dots are given.

*** ISLANDS OF INSIGHT STREAM TONIGHT ***
We streamed Islands Of Insight again last night! If you missed it, you can watch it at the link below:

*** PATREON REWARD DAY ***
We published a new sudoku hunt, Evening Attractions, at the start of March for our monthly competition. It closes on the 20th so get your entries in by then!

They'll also be a bonus crossword video from Simon and his solve of Region Geometry by Emre Kolotoğlu (3hr 36min long...!) released over the weekend. And Simon's discussion video about Dean Mayer's Sunday Times crossword from last weekend will appear at 1minute past midnight on Sunday morning (which is the moment that competition has ended.)
