*** TODAY'S PUZZLE ***
Tobias Brixner's incredible debut is The Fountain - an amazing chaos construction. It is absolutely bizarre that this solves the way it does. Is this the best or second best sudoku title of all time?!

Play the puzzle at the link below:

Rules:
Place the digits 1-9 once each into each row, column, and region of orthogonally connected cells. Regions contain nine cells and must be determined. On a green line, adjacent digits differ by 5 or more. A cage indicates how many different regions there are in all orthogonally or diagonally adjacent cells (including the caged cell itself).
