20:20 for me! I’m very happy with that! (Lol, I half expected it to say “Ted Cruz” at the end.) 😄

At 0:54. I set this on Sudoku Maker on an IPad. At first I cut and pasted arrows from an ASCII table, then started using the arrow characters from the keyboard on the device. They all show the same to me when I open the puzzle on the IPad, but they look like this when I open the puzzle on my phone, so I should probably fix it. The wide bluish arrows really hide the pencil marks, and they do not exactly point on the diagonals. I really wanted narrow arrows like the ones in the puzzle you solved on Sunday. If you or your subscribers have suggestions, please share. At 13:14 the 456 set of candidates in r3c3 means r3c4 is a 3. That puts the 1 in row 9 and helps with r9c1. At 24:36 the 9 is there in order to make the solution unique. I may try another one of these, but with an 11x11 grid and 9 3x3 boxes (is that “chaos?”) That way I can use 3x3x1=9 among others. You did a great job with bad arrows. Thank you the feature and for citing to my puzzle list and I wish you a very Happy Birthday.

00:05:29 nice puzzle :)

8:46 for me. 😄

6:44 to solve. A brilliant and enjoyable puzzle! Thanks Patzer

Thanks for the laugh at 2:16. Where you were at 7:00 I skipped to the subtraction from 45. Again, I spent too much time pencil marking the grid, finished in 10:30. 4 seconds behind you, and I didn’t explain it while I solved.

Whew! That one was tough, but very satisfying to solve. Took me 62:16. 😄

“Following crime”= stalking. I posted a sudoku for you.

2:58 for me.

Thanks for solving my puzzles! Very cool to see :) There are 9x9 versions with most of these rules sets on LMD, happy to point you to them if you're interested :)

This one was fun, and one of my comparatively fastest solves! 15:31 for me. 😄

Speedy run today. I spent too much time pencil marking candidates in all the corners and all the coordinate cells. I missed the neon sign on R6c1. (6:42)

ChinStrap here. Just discovered your channel and for the first time doing index lines it was a great solve! Thanks so much for trying my puzzle. You did the hard mode deduction of the endgame but that's okay! Tried to make sure there was some supporting sudoku first but you aren't the first to focus on just the line. Thanks again!

9:55 for me. 😄

30:11 here. I tried simultaneously used parity and polarity coloring and it simultaneously helped and confused me.

5:16 here. Fun and quick! 😄

6:32 here. I'm not in love with the constraint, but maybe I need to see it in a more complex puzzle.

29:13 was my time! very happy with that

@30:00 you can't have a 2 between a 7 and 8 on a german whisper! This was available since @11:50 😅 you got it 3 mins later :D I've been able to finish this in 42:59, solver #331

I thought Batman had a strict no-kill policy.

Good solve. I struggled more than you did. I did not understand the wording of the cage sum clue rule. In the Sudokupad app the sum clue shows in the topmost cell in the leftmost column. I assumed the rule was explaining what anyone who sets puzzles knows. “Uppermost, leftmost” is not clear. I think “both uppermost row and leftmost column in the cage” would have caused me to not keep reading the rules to see what I missed, or finally giving up and crawling back to Puzzle Patzer to see if you would clear some fog for me. Once I saw how you interpreted the rule I stopped worrying about the red letters and stoped rereading the rules and the enjoyed the solve. Then I finished watching your solve and had a laugh at your expense over that tenacious 2/3 pair between 7/8 candidates in row 4.

I enjoyed that one! 20:13 for me. For me, the trick at the end was to color the 789s, and it all fell into place. 😄

That one was fun to solve! 23:56 for me. 😄

12:06 for me. 😄

8:26 to solve. Lovely puzzle!

13:36 here. It's rare for me to come close to a pro solver.

I had just done pagedo's Even Corners when I came across this video with Odd Corners. A great pair to do back to back.

That one was a lot of fun! 13:06 for me. 😄

Fun puzzle! 17:04 for me. 😄

Interesting twist. 13:10 for me (after one dumb mistake at the beginning). 😄

Fun quick puzzle! 😄

Thank you for solving this puzzle PuzzlePatzer! I saw your comment on it and was excitedly waiting for this video the past 2 days. It was a very fun watch as always. :) The thing you were stuck on between 30:30 and 54:30 is a lot easier to see if you pencilmark the 12 „pair“ in column 1. Then you can see that if r2c7 is a 1, then it breaks column 1. but you got there in the end! Also because you asked about it, if the last hint (r9c5) wasn‘t there, that cell could be 3 or 5. The hint makes it a 3. :D

Colouring the odd 10-sum pairs different shades helps see where the 1/3 pairs are, which resolves the Kropki in box 4.

Fun puzzle! Lots of coloring! 21:59 for me. 😄

Rook f7

11 minutes Pretty straightforward

7:27 to solve. Nice puzzle

Fun solve. I like to get Bob Seger’s “Night Moves” playing in my head when solving knight move constraint puzzles. You should trust your pencil marks. 7/9 pair in box 2 at 8:53. 4/7 in row 3 at 14:56 with a 4 in the row. As always, I admire your courage to solve puzzles at first glance. Thanks for the “speed run.”

what was the elo ratingof this puzzle?

The 17-cage in the bottom-right is unnecessary. The puzzle can be solved without it.

A great puzzle for NYE. I'm not normally a big fan of parity lines, but here they had nice interactions with the other constraints.

Frogs are much cuter than kropki dots.

What a gorgeous puzzle! It’s astounding that this is this setter’s first puzzle!! I see great things from them in the future! (38:56 for me) 😄

Excellent puzzle, lots of fun. Solved it in 28:37. Your notation gets confusing sometimes. The digits you write in a cell sometimes indicate all the digits that can go into a cell or all the places a particular digit can go in a block. This was especially confusing at 37:38 in block 6. It is better to distinguish the two, e.g. by using Snyder notation (using digits in the corner of the cell to indicate all the places a digit can go in a block). When you get stuck, it can help to write in all candidates that can go in a cell. This would have sped you up several times in the solve. E.g. at 13:22 the cell r4c3 became a naked single (28 can't go there b/c of the 5, 369 because of the column and 47 because of the 7 next to it). But you never noticed it and placed the 1 by eliminating it from r4c1 at 18:22. Similarly, at 31:19 you placed 5 to r2c2, leaving only 3 possible options in column 2, so in particular r3c2 can only be 369 at this point, but both 3 and 6 would create 3 and 6 next to each other with r4c2, so r3c2 must be 9.

Thanks for the feature. I enjoyed it immensely and it was the best birthday present. Im watching it first thing in the morning on my birthday and watching the waves crash on the west coast of the USA and having a few laughs at your expense about r3c3. Thanks, Puzzle Patzer.
