Today's puzzle features one of the great break-ins in sudoku history.  Simon is utterly flummoxed for some considerable time!  If you can get one digit, you can probably get all of them :).  It's called Squares and it's the creation of the magnificent udukos!  Give it a go at it at the link below:

Rules:
Normal sudoku rules apply.  In cages, digits must sum to the small clue in the top left corner of the cage (if given).  Digits cannot repeat within a cage. Each grey line contains a set of consecutive, non-repeating digits, in any order.
