*** TODAY'S PUZZLE ***
The Skunkworks are doing great things for the sudoku community and here two of their number, Nordy & Riffclown, present an absolutely SUPERB puzzle using, inter alia, overlapping region sum lines.

Rules:
Normal sudoku rules apply. Along a blue line, each line segment within a different 3x3 box must sum to the same total. Different lines may have different totals. Each grey line consists of one or more contiguous groups of cells, each of which sums to 10. These groups of cells cannot overlap. Adjacent digits on a green line must differ by at least 5.

100 4x4 Snackdoku pack from the Skunkworks was released on 1 December as our monthly reward.
