Cracking the Cryptic: sudoko solvers become unlikely YouTube sensation

A YouTube channel dedicated to solving tricky sudoko puzzles has become an unlikely viral sensation. 
Cracking the Cryptic has become a lockdown fixture for millions who tune in to watch Simon Anthony and Mark Goodliffe work through seemingly impossible puzzles. 
The channel’s latest hit is The Miracle Sudoku, a strangely compelling 25-minute video in which Anthony takes on what he believes to be an impossible grid. 
“I’m not sure I’ve got the adjectives to describe what is going on here,” he says when he realises he might solve it after all. “It’s like the universe is singing to us.”
