YOU Choose Tomorrow's Puzzle!!!
1,073*** TODAY'S PUZZLE ***
An absolute belter today from Dag H with Yin Yang Renban, a quite sublime puzzle hybrid of sudoku and the logic puzzle Yin Yang. We're also delighted to present viewers with a choice about the puzzle Simon will attempt in tomorrow's video. We've never done this before and we're not sure whether it will be popular. We've identified two puzzles that have been requested a lot so please drop us a comment to let us know which you'd prefer to see and why (Links to these puzzles are included below).
Play Yin Yang Renban at the link below:

Rules:
Normal sudoku rules apply. Every cell in the grid is either shaded or unshaded. All shaded cells form an orthogonally connected group; all unshaded cells form an orthogonally connected group. No 2x2 area may be fully shaded or fully unshaded. Every cell with a circle is shaded. The number in a circle is equal to the number of shaded cells “seen” by that cell, including itself; ie the total number of shaded cells in uninterrupted vertical and horizontal lines from that cell. Digits along a pink line form a consecutive, non-repeating sequence. These digits can appear in any order.
