*** TODAY'S PUZZLE ***
JanForty set this puzzle, Mean Samuria, in a speed-setting competition (we think he had less than one hour, possibly a lot less!). He is one of the fastest solvers on the planet and it turns out something of a genius at setting as well. These 4x4 linked grids (samurai style!) are absolutely amazing.

Rules:
Each of the coloured areas and the centre 4x4 is a 4x4 sudoku grid using four of the digits 1-9. Different areas may use different digits. Adjacent digits along a green line must differ by at least 5. A pink line contains a set of consecutive numbers, in any order. (In green, there are two separate lines that cross). Digits along an arrow sum to the digit in that arrow's circle. Cells separated by a black dot contain digits in a 1:2 ratio (ie one digit will be double the other). Cells separated by an X contain digits that sum to 10.
