*** TODAY'S PUZZLE ***
One of those rare (and daunting) sudokus today - a 100% 5* puzzle! It's called Millstone and it's by James Sinclair. Many of you have recommended it and claimed that it can be solved without too much maths if you can understand the ideas behind it... Let's see!!
Play the puzzle at the link below:

Rules:
Fill the grid with the digits 0-9 so that digits do not repeat in a row, column, or 3x3 box, and exactly one cell in each row, column, and box contains two digits. A cell's value is equal to the sum of its digits. A cage's product is equal to the value of each of its cells multiplied together. Each cage's product is consecutive with that of exactly one other cage in the puzzle, and no two cages have the same product. Some cage products are given, others must be deduced. Digits cannot repeat within a cage (but values can). The sum of the values along an arrow is equal to the value in the connected circle. Values in cells with a shaded square must be even.
