One Of The Best Debuts Ever

** TODAY'S PUZZLE **
A debut on the channel today for the constructor sophmayrob and their puzzle DIY Arrows. If you spend a moment or two studying this one you may think it's quite approachable; if you spend another 5 minutes, you'll think it is absolutely impossible. This is a seriously clever sudoku and one of the best debuts we've ever seen.

Play the puzzle at the link below:

Rules:
Normal sudoku rules apply. Cells separated by a knight’s move (in chess) cannot contain the same digit. Cells separated by a grey dot contain digits that are either consecutive or in a 2:1 ratio. Standard arrow sudoku rules apply ie Digits along an arrow must sum to the digit in that arrow’s circle. In this puzzle the circles are given and the arrows must be found by the solver. Each arrow must be exactly 3 cells long (4 including the circle). Arrows can only extend into columns 123789 of the sudoku. Arrows can cross each other but may not share cells.

** NEW SUDOKU HUNT JUST OUT **
A new sudoku hunt, The Planets Suite, was released on 1 June at 4pm UK time on Patreon. It's one of our own and is slightly easier this month. The solution videos for DiMono's Jewels Of Osiris hunt last month are also now available.
