** TODAY'S PUZZLE **
A debut on the channel tonight for The Book Wyrm and their puzzle Colour Wheel, which was apparently constructed in just 90 minutes. This will seem utterly extraordinary when you see the logic required in this one - it is original and brilliant (and not that easy!)

Rules:
Normal sudoku rules apply. Digits in a cage do not repeat. Sum all the digits in a cage and then colour each cage according to the last digit of its sum (i.e. cages that sum to values with the same last digit are the same colour, and cages that sum to values with a different last digit are different colours). Numbers in the top left corner of a cage (“Cage X”) give the sum of all orthogonally-adjacent cages of different colours to Cage X. Every digit, except the digit in the central cell (r5c5), has a 'partner digit' that is always placed 180° rotationally symmetrical to it, seen from the centre of the grid. Which digits are paired up must be deduced by the solver. (Example: If the digits 1 and 2 turned out to be a rotational pair, and r2c4 is a 1, r8c6 must be a 2.)
