*** TODAY'S PUZZLE ***
It's Saturday so sometimes we like to take a trip into non-sudoku land and this time we do that to visit Die Hard and his puzzle, Fillomino Knights. It's one of those puzzles where you need to discover things you've probably never realised - and when you do, it'll make you very happy :)

Play the puzzle at the link below:
https://sudokupad.app/n8uzh6og6f

Rules:
Normal fillomino rules apply ie Divide the grid into regions of orthogonally-connected cells. Fill each cell with a number equal to its region’s size (ie the number of cells in its region). No two regions of the same size can share an edge (although they may touch diagonally). Use only region sizes of 1 to 9 and the digit N cannot appear in row N or column N. Two digits separated by a black dot must be in a 1:2 ratio (ie one digit should be double the other). Cells separated by a single knight's move (in chess) cannot contain the same digit.

*** LIVE CROSSWORD MASTERCLASS ***
On March 21, Simon and Mark will appear at the Word=Puzzles conference at Magdelen College, Oxford and do a live episode of their crossword masterclass! More information here:
