*** TODAY’S PUZZLE ***
Antiknight’s new sudoku is a doozy! It combines very naturally the concepts of sums and averages resulting in a whole series of rather wonderful moments for the solver. Check it out!

Play the puzzle at the link below:

Rules:
Normal sudoku rules apply. The digit in the circle is the exact average of the digits on the golden line. (eg r5c4 is the exact average of the digits in r5c4, r5c5 & r5c6). The digits along each grey line must sum to 10. The four cells surrounding the small white circle in box 6 must contain consecutive digits – these digits can appear in any order.
