It is often difficult on social media to work out what's real and what's fake... but the story of the sudoku tattoo found on Lenin's body certainly merits investigation. youtu.be/W81TsEV0w8E #sudokutattoo Elon Musk

American Stephen Nedoroscik is a legend. In this video, he talks about finding Cracking The Cryptic, solving Gliperal's Balance Loop sudoku & speed-running the Rubik's Cube. He'll go on to win an Olympic medal on the pommel horse. youtube.com/watch?v=c-oSIU… USA Gymnastics

Simon's video this evening will be slightly delayed as he's had an internet outage. It's up and running again now so, hopefully, the video will go live at 9pm (30mins late). Our apologies. Now which puzzle do you hope to see?!

Tonight's video is now live. It's a new Rat Run sudoku from Marty Sears, who is surely by now cackling manically at our attempts to get the cupcake!! youtu.be/-TbfZF4KBs4 #ratrun #finkzisveryclever

This evening's puzzle isn't a sudoku but... The Train And The Fly is another magical creation from the-seemingly-endlessly-inventive Marty Sears. It deserves all the plaudits it gets (and probably more!). youtu.be/2xnKQBr7LT8 #thetrainandthefly

A few months ago we solved a lovely puzzle from Jane Street called Bug Byte, which was also featured on Numberphile. Well now they've made a sequel... so Simon has had a go at that too! youtu.be/IQDXnPpPHxw

When a computer was asked to solve tonight's thermo sudoku, it said you needed to use RSTUVWXYZ-Wings... That sounded very hard so we tried to find a human way!! youtu.be/-egiLh6s-nw #Sudoku #SudokuDay
