** TODAY'S PUZZLE **
ThePedallingPianist is a genius of a sudoku constructor. We have been inundated with requests and recommendations to try his latest 4x4 sudoku: Sharing Is Caring which looks easy until you read the rules. This puzzle is witty and wonderful. And it's probably not simple ;)
Play the puzzle at the following link:

Rules:
Place the digits 09 once each into every row, column and 2x2 box. Cells may contain up to four digits simultaneously, and cells in the same row/column/box may not contain the same number of digits. A cell's value is the sum of the digits it contains. Values separated by a white dot are consecutive. Values separated by a black dot are in a 1:2 ratio. Values separated by an X sum to 10.
