The Qodec Manifestation

** TODAY'S PUZZLE **

Mark and Simon were lucky enough to meet none other than Qodec for lunch in London today! Simon's first "real life" encounter with anyone from the channel!! To celebrate he decides to give Qodec's latest puzzle a try: it's called Lion and it's everything we've come to expect from the great man. Give it a try at the link below:

Rules:
Normal sudoku rules apply. In cages, digits must sum to the small clue in the top left corner of the cage. Digits cannot repeat within a cage. Cells separated by a king's move (in chess) cannot contain the same digit.

▶ NEW PATREON CONTENT ◀
Coming 1 June: Two new Paint By Numbers Institute sudoku packs featuring a LOT of Japanese Sum Sudokus (the ones that give pictures!) from Panthera, TheAsylum and grkles. We'll run separate competitions for both packs :)

Our Patreon monthly reward based around Equal Sum Lines sudokus for May is available as is Qinlux' incredible sudoku hunt.
