How To Place 72 Correct Sudoku Digits In 30 Seconds

** OCTOBER MONTHLY REWARD - OUT NOW **

The Duality Sudoku Hunt is just out.  Massive thanks and kudos to the Sudoku Skunkworks for creating such a brilliant set of puzzles (14 in all!).  You'll be able to enter the competition if you can solve the first 4 sudokus.  If you solve all 14, you'll get a shoutout.

We've also just released Simon & Mark's solve of Vignettes by zetamath, which you can play at the link below:

** TODAY'S PUZZLE **

Eric Rathbun comes up trumps today with an absolutely amazing colour-fest of a puzzle.  It's got some unusual logic in it too but the way it all ties together is just so perfect.  Enjoy!

Play the puzzle at the link below:

Rules:
Normal sudoku rules apply. In cages, digits sum to the small clue in the top left corner of the cage. Clues outside the grid give the sum of the digits along the indicated diagonal. Cells separated by a white dot contain consecutive digits. Cells separated by a black dot contain digits in a 1:2 ratio (ie one digit is double the other). Not all possible dots are given. Grey lines are palindromes and must read the same forwards and backwards.
