** TODAY'S PUZZLE **
A new twist on Fog Of War sudoku today from Bruce Svare and his puzzle Dense Fog in which the fog only clears one cell at a time! It's a very cool idea and has some interesting logic to go with the interesting mechanic.

Play the puzzle at the link below:

Rules:
Normal sudoku rules apply. The clues outside the grid give the sum of the digits along the indicated diagonal. Cells separated by a knight’s move (in chess) cannot contain the same digit. Numbers in white circle quads must appear in at least one of the surrounding cells. A '?' in the quad refers to an unknown number. All numbers in the quad are sorted from smallest to largest leftright, and topbottom. Example, [1234], [3366]. Duplicates are allowed in a quad. Cells separated by a white dot must contain consecutive digits. Cells separated by a black dot must contain digits in a 1:2 ratio (ie one digit must be double the other). Not all white and black dots are given. Additionally, the grid is covered by a dense fog. Placing a number in the correct square will reveal ONLY that square.
