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.
Thanks! I see what you mean! Here's where my inexperience in setting and probably English in general turned out to be an advantage! Lol @ the tenacious 2/3 pair 😂. I always have one of those, don't I!
@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
Well spotted! It took me a whole lot longer than it should have. Hey that's the laugh at my expense that's promised in every video. 😅 That's a good solving time!
29:13 was my time! very happy with that
Great time! Did you have trouble with the instructions as well? (Uppermost, leftmost)

Completely agree with this. Was not clear about being BOTH upper most and left most. Typically I have seen it only based on the upper most row.
Thanks!

I thought Batman had a strict no-kill policy.
Indeed, maybe it was a golden age Batman.
