Snarky Puppy - Xavi (cipher + German whispers sudoku)
(Published yesterday, 18:59 by Aspartagcus)
This sudoku is a tribute to one of my favorite bands, Snarky Puppy, and their song "Xavi".
I got to see them live a couple of years ago, and it was absolutely fantastic.
Challenge: Listen to the song while solving and try to finish before it ends! (It's 9:31 long.)
