Loved it. I almost always like simple constraints laid out in a clever or elegant way. To be able to use this many constraints and still have the puzzle retain beauty takes real genius on the part of the setter.
Puzzle was so frustrating, I placed a few digits and then got so lost that after an hour the towel was thrown. although, I felt a little better when I watched the video and saw that all the digits and pencil marks I had placed showed, at least, I was going in the right direction before the instructions became undecipherable to me
With so many constraints, I spend half my time re-reading the rules. I don't have the time to spend an hour or more on a puzzle. I did spend about 10 minutes working on it and tossed in the towel after barely making a couple of deductions.
@@SudokuSleuth On more reflection, it's the multitude of different colored lines that are the problem. I recall a puzzle from a few years ago that was an "advent calendar" theme, with a different constraint in each box. But that relied on several non-line constraints (killer cages, kropki dots, quadruple circles) and used only a couple of line types, which makes it much easier to keep track of the various constraints.
Lol @0:58 shortly: [Slueth talkin' about the title and things]: "Don't be too concerned..." What I'm "concerned" about, is that boat or barge in the river (in Slueth's THUMBNAIL), crashing into that cement bridge in the water. (A bridge abutment?) That's what I'm "concerned" about (That boat didn't COME from there, and it's going to crash if GOING there) lol Okay, joke's over Puzzle now lol 😂

Brilliant solve! I think the trickiest thing about this is dealing with an overload of clues, but you did so masterfully! 10/10!
Thank you gUBBLOR.
I hope there are more puzzles coming!
It’s not often I take 40+mins to complete one of your puzzles, but this was one of them. Fun puzzle regardless
28:20: Sleuth removed the 7 pencilmarks instead of the 8s, and was lucky that none of those was a 7...
😆🙈
Great puzzle .I found it quite difficult with so many different clues
This was a fun but challenging one. Had to restart a few times but got there in the end. 30 minute solve.
26:25 ... chipping away, chipping away ... then it finally crumbled

The previous multitude of constraints puzzle had similar reactions.
I can understand it for sure

Such a variety of techniques to solve this one. Definitely a lot of fun! My time today was 18:17, solver number 203.
Nice work!
Lol
