I broke it once but I knew it was possible for me. Got it in 50 minutes, cautiously, but done. This hobby is mirroring my job and my engineering degree, I learn slowly and steady, but never forget my methods once they are fully developed.
Oops... my final solve time was 8:30, but add another 4-5 minutes as I really goofed, because, ya know... 4+6=11, right (noticed on my full restart)? :P Very smooth solve, and loved how well the little killers interacted with each other, props to Panthera!
After all the forcing, I was surprised to get some degrees of freedom along the 60 diagonal toward the end. Had to switch back to sudoku to eliminate some possibilities, then it became a gimme. My time today was 9:20, solver number 944.
A very enjoyable puzzle, so well constructed and fun from start to finish! Thanks for sharing! I got stuck in box 5 cause I was sure I could do 22 without a 9... I'm a twonk 🤦♂️🤣.
First - great puzzle.
Second - I WILL be stealing what Panthera did in the middle box.
Third - Percussive Maintenance - I love it!

Lovely lovely puzzle and terrific solve, particularly given the clear intent of the universe to distract you from the solve!
Love the puzzle. Nice solve. Happy New Year
Interesting puzzle , gl with the headphones.

Happy New Year!

I should had pay more attention to number 2 in box 3! I was lost for so long because of it 😅
But it was a nice puzzle, thanks 😊
22:51 for me
nice puzzle
I tested this one for Panthera! Very smooth puzzle, loved it :)
That was a nice puzzle. I loved how so much was absolutely forced.
Agreed! I liked the way that things that at first glance looked to have lots of options turned out not to when you worked through it.
10:38 for me. Very fun, have a great day !
What a great puzzle!
I, for one, LOVE the little tools that Sven puts in to help. In this case, that handy-dandy sum calculator...

alternate way
one degree of freedom
can't be c1r6 --> 4
reduce box 7
now r9c4 must be 3
