One Of The 10 Hardest Puzzles We've Ever Seen

*** IT'S LIVE: OUR KICKSTARTER CAMPAIGN LAUNCHED *** Thank you so much to everyone who supported our Kickstarter which launched last Wednesday. Want to take a grab a copy of Cracking The Cryptic's Greatest Hit Volume 2? Here's the link: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/peterchayward/cracking-the-cryptics-greatest-hits-volume-2?ref=4rrd60 *** TODAY'S PUZZLE *** Jay Dyer has a reputation for genius and her puzzle Double The Heat has barely been solved at all... The reason, it turns out, is because it is COMPLETELY MAD (and bafflingly brilliant). One of the hardest and most wonderful sudokus we have ever seen. TAKE A BOW! Play the puzzle at the link below: https://app.crackingthecryptic.com/sudoku/NbhMLRBtdj Rules: Normal sudoku rules apply. Digits along a thermometer increase from the bulb end. Nine cells in the grid (one per row, column and box) are doublers, which count as double their value on thermometers. Each digit appears in exactly one doubler. *** PATREON BONUS *** A brand new classic sudoku by shye and jovi_al is awaiting your attention! It's called Another Language and this is a good title because it's quite a hard puzzle to understand :) We're running a competition until the end of October for the best solution guide we receive. Also there's just one more day to submit your entries for the Duality Sudoku Hunt, our October monthly reward. Massive thanks and kudos to the Sudoku Skunkworks for creating such a brilliant set of puzzles (14 in all).
