** TODAY'S PUZZLE **
Well it's April Fools Day and we're thrilled to share with you a puzzle apparently by two 5 year olds, Marty & Nordy, called My First Soduko! It's a wrogn puzzle in which five of the clues are lying - which ones you'll need to work out; bearing in mind that the wrong clues could be those given by Mark, Simmon & Bobbins The Cat (!!)

Play the puzzle at the link below:

Rules:
Normal soduko rules apply. We have drawed a lot of clues, to mak it a really good puzzle. We have even put some red clues outside the grid. All clues are telling the truth accept for 5 of them, which are lying. (if a clue doesnt completly work like it should, then it is lying.) Can you find the 5 lying clues?

All the clues are standdard rules:

A pink line is a rembam, this means that all the digits on there are in a seqeunce, maybe like 4567, but they dont repeat and the seqeunce can be in a diffrent order like 5746.

Green means a German Shhhhh line. All of ajaxent digits on green lines must be at least 5 diffrent from eachother. Like 6 and 1 is ok but 4 and 2 is not ok.

Red CLues outside the grid pointing inwards diloganly give the sum of the digits on that dialagonal.

If there is a dashed line cage then this is a KILLER! cage. anythign you rite in there cant repeat, and must sum to what the small number in the corner says.

Digits along the light grey thermomometer must increase as you move away from the end with the blub.

Ditgits on a light blue arrow sum to whats in the circle.

Dark grey lines are Ten Lines which is an idea we stole from zetamaths. A ten line is made of groups of adjaxent digits which do'nt overlap and each group sums to 10. EG: 28532 can be split into two groops which sum to 10.

Digits with white dot means they are consticutive like 3 and 4 are.

A little purple arrow sits between two digits and points at the smaller one. Eg: 2 is smaller than 8.

Digits with an X sum to 10. Eg: 3 and 7.

Finaly! There is some caracters we drawed outside the grid. What they are saying (in red) counts as clues too, so remember thjey might be lying! lol
