Impress Your Friends With This Miracle Sudoku!

** TODAY'S PUZZLE **
We've had LOTS of recommendations to try this new puzzle, Three Wishes, from Matt Tressel. It's a classic Miracle Sudoku set-up with a completely blank grid but the really astonishing thing about it is the fact that the ruleset is incredibly short. As Simon says, you could (if you were like Simon) ask your friends to solve it in the pub... (!?)

Play the puzzle at the link below:

Rules:
Normal sudoku rules apply. Orthogonally connected cells within each region must differ by at least 3. Orthogonally connected cells between regions must differ by at least 4. The central digit in each region is less than or equal to its region number. (Regions are numbered in normal reading order.)

The musical intro today is The Dangling Conversation by Simon & Garfunkel.
