- We explain some of the basics about the Kakuro puzzle while reviewing the solves of Jason Zuffranieri - the fastest solver of these puzzles in the World. (Jason is also in the top 3 of the Jeopardy! Hall Of Fame). His speed is eye-wateringly fast so try not to blink...

I don't know what's more impressive, him solving the puzzle or him keying in the numbers that quickly. 🙈🙉🙊
the "hard" puzzle wasn't hard, it was the easy puzzle but bigger. the combinations are still very straightforward. i'd be interested to see realtime solving of something like the expert level on kakuroconquest.
That guy was impressive.
I thought I was fast at Kakuro. The easy puzzle took me 2:30, and the hard 8:00.
It takes a lot of practice to get super fast. I average about 5 min on a larger expert puzzle (I think it's a '9×17' on the website I use) It really is all about remembering the locked patterns. It blows my mind how much of the more open patterns he gets as quickly as he does though, as I still need minor notation for those.
@@xnisfuzzy I'm pretty sure I know which site you're talking about and on 9x17 expert mode my record is 1 minute and 12 seconds and on average i get 1 min and 51 seconds
00:46 in an easy 8*8 Kakuro puzzle is also my best time. It’s been my favorite puzzle for a year or two.
Is this the same Jason that's currently crushing it on Jeopardy right now?
Yes indeed!
@@qc1okay He changed the title of the video. Did you know you could do that?
My absolute favorite puzzles!
That is seriously impressive, I am just happy to solve it at all! :)
The "hard" puzzle is just a little harder than the easy puzzle. Compare it to the puzzles in the Belt books or the Nasty books.
Yeah, almost every entry in the second puzzle is incredibly restricted. I'd love to see a Kakuro god work on a deeper puzzle.
I may have to watch again and turn the speed down so I can almost keep up ;o)
What's the site or program he's using in the video?
GOOD JOB MR. Z
How?!
What site or program are you using for kakuro in this video?
+1!
@@mars_over I started using kakuroconquest.com. It's not the same site, but it has multiple levels and it saves all your clear times and averages them for each level.
@@ytrapnacew Yeah I also use that site, my record is 1 min and 12 seconds on 9x17 expert
Can you add a link to the puzzle?
