PLEASE NOTE: The rules card on today's video is incorrect. Apologies. Too much editing of the intro/outro. The rules for this puzzle will be correct at the puzzle link and are stated correctly below.

Today's sudoku is a tribute to Gene Roddenberry who would have been 100 years old today. Gene created Star Trek, which first aired on US TV in 1966! The puzzle is by Florian Wortmann and it's top-quality! Give it a try at the link below:

Rules:
Normal sudoku rules apply. Along thermometers, digits must increase from the bulb end. In cages, digits must sum to the small clue in the top left corner of the cage. Arrowed clues outside the grid give the sum of the digits on the indicated diagonal. The (unarrowed) 21 clue outside the grid is the sum of the digits sandwiched between the 1 and 9 in its column. Cells separated by a white dot must contain consecutive digits. Not all possible white dots are given.

PS Thanks to everyone who joined us for Simon's stream playing The Witness on Tuesday. Episode 3 is planned for Sunday evening at 10pm UK time.

PPS If we manage to reach 400,000 subscribers then we'll be releasing a video where Mark and Simon answer community questions! Please email us at crackingthecryptic@gmail.com if you have a good question for them :)
