A quick recommendation before we get on to today's sudoku. Two day's ago we featured a puzzle - Madrigal by Fafrd - that's proving incredibly popular. We described it (with good reason) as The Greatest Discovery In Sudoku History so do check it out!

** TODAY'S PUZZLE **
One of our favourite constructors returns to the channel today with what must surely be a tongue-in-cheek sudoku?! It's called XY Difference Sudoku and, as some of you will know, such puzzles have grids which are typically populated by diamonds. Here we have no such help - no diamonds - in fact it is only the absence of diamonds that will help you solve this!!
There's a little bonus music at the end of today's video too.
Play the puzzle at the link below:
app.crackingthecryptic.com/su...
Rules:
Normal sudoku rules apply. If there's a diamond between two horizontally adjacent cells, then the absolute value of their difference is the same as the first digit in that row. If there's a diamond between two vertically adjacent cells then the absolute value of their difference is the same as the first digit in that column. All possible diamonds are given. (Note that because there are no diamonds shown in this puzzle, there are no adjacent pairs whose difference equals the first digit in their row/column).
