Here's the link: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/peterchayward/cracking-the-cryptics-greatest-hits-volume-2?ref=4rrd60 *** TODAY'S PUZZLE *** Sum Line Sudoku#2 by Phistomefel is a puzzle we've had requested many times over the last few weeks. The comments on Logic Masters Germany from successful solvers are truly terrifying - a mixture of admiration and despair at how brutally difficult it is to crack. Today Simon has a go.... Play the puzzle at the link below: https://app.crackingthecryptic.com/sudoku/4hnrd6BrqT Rules: Normal sudoku rules apply. (ie fill the grid with the numbers from 1 to 9 so that in each row, column, and 3x3 block, each digit occurs exactly once.) For every triple of adjacent digits on a line, one of the digits has to be the sum of the other two, e.g. 2-5-7, 6-9-3, and 8-4-4 are valid adjacent digits along a line. Digits may repeat on a line if allowed by the other rules. *** 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. Massive thanks and kudos to the Sudoku Skunkworks for creating such a brilliant set of puzzles (14 in all) in our October Monthly Reward. Solution Videos should be out now!
