** TODAY'S PUZZLE **
Marty Sears is often described as a genius and this sudoku puzzle will do nothing but gather more folk to that opinion! It's called Spot The Difference and it's absolutely magical (or RIDICULOUS) that this solves. Every single one of the 49 people who have solved it as at the date of publication of this video have rated it 100%.

Play the puzzle at the following link:

Rules:
Normal sudoku rules apply. Connect each pair of matching coloured spots with a snake. Snakes may only move orthogonally through the grid, not diagonally. They may touch each other (and themselves) but cannot share cells. Each pair of adjacent digits along a snake has the same difference, but this 'difference value' may be different for different snakes. A grey square contains an even digit. A black dot connects two digits with a 1:2 ratio (one is double the other.)
