We've just released Padlocked, an extraordinary Lockout Lines-themed Sudoku Hunt, on Patreon. You can join us on Patreon here:

($2 a month for puzzles, $3 a month for puzzles and solution videos).

Today's video features a REALLY clever puzzle called Sudo-Cube by XeonRisq. Not only is it beautiful but it's crammed with cunning logic. Give it a try at the following link:

Rules:
Normal sudoku rules apply. Digits on a grey line must be between the digits on that line's circled ends. Digits on a purple line must be consecutive (in any order). Adjacent digits on a green line must have a difference of 5 or more. Clues outside the grid give the sum of the digits along the indicated diagonal. Digits can repeat along such a diagonal if allowed by other rules.

Sam Cappleman-Lynes has made an extremely clever 6x6x6 set of puzzles. We have released a solution video for this puzzle on Patreon and you can try to solve it yourself at these links (one to our software, one to penpa (which allows you to increase the size of the grids):
