** TODAY'S PUZZLE **
It's been a long time since Simon's attempted a "plain" thermo sudoku on the channel but Blashyrkh has come up with one of the alltime great puzzles. It's called Club 27 we think on account of the fact that there are only 27 cells on thermometers in the grid (surely some sort of record?). The way this solves verges on the unbelievable.

Play the puzzle at the link below:
https://sudokupad.app/dowo5gsiqj

Rules:
Normal sudoku rules apply. Along a thermometer, digits increase from the bulb end.

** PATREON BONUSES **
Simon's latest foray into the world of Islands Of Insight is available now TODAY!

They'll also be a bonus crossword video from Simon and his solve of Region Geometry by Emre Kolotoğlu (3hr 36min long...!) released over the weekend. And Simon's discussion video about Dean Mayer's Sunday Times crossword from last weekend will appear at 1minute past midnight on Sunday morning (which is the moment that competition has ended.)
