*** TODAY'S PUZZLE ***
IcyFruit returns to the channel today with a fog-of-war sudoku of quite astonishing brilliance. It's hard to imagine how the fog mechanic could be used better than this - the only we don't understand about the puzzle now is the name!?
Play the puzzle at the link below:

Rules:
Normal sudoku rules apply. Placing a correct digit will clear the fog from the neighbouring cells. Guessing is not required. Lines travel orthogonally or diagonally through the centres of cells. They do not branch and do not cross themselves or each other. All given lines are a different colour. A grey dot may hide part of a line. Lines are “region-subset lines” ie The 3x3 box borders divide lines into segments. If a digit appears in a segment of length N, it must appear in all segments of length N or greater on that line. All lines have at least two segments. In addition, a digit on a line indicates the number of times that digit appears on that line.
The puzzle Simon mentions during the intro that viewers might like to think about in terms of the "3rd secret of Yin Yang" is here:
