A Sudoku With Only Three Given 7s

*** KICKSTARTER LAUNCHED - FOG OF WAR ***
Check out our new Kickstarter - launched yesterday - where we tasked ourselves with creating the best Xmas present for a puzzle fan. There's a story by professional writer Peter C Hayward linked with (at least!) 10 brand new Fog-Of-War Sudoku puzzles by Sandra & Nala; and this all made beautiful by the artwork of Haleigh Mooney. Please help us to make this happen.

*** TODAY'S PUZZLE ***
The most popular video on the channel features a puzzle by the Dutch mathematician Aad van de Wetering and he returns tonight with a sudoku to celebrate his 79th birthday! Happy Birthday Aad!! And what a puzzle this is... original and fascinating in equal measure.

Play the puzzle at the following link:
