    Nordy here. You navigated the garden(s) wonderfully and avoided snake bites. Fun fact: the puzzle is *technically* solvable without the apples, but it’s quite brutal. The apples are there to *tempt* solvers to look in key places so they don’t get stuck :) I should have also mentioned that there are exactly 9 snakes-one for each circle. It was in an earlier version of the rules and must have missed the rewrite.

      Thanks for clarifying that there are exactly 9 snakes. I just started the puzzle and have been stumped from the get-go, so I’m assuming that’s a crucial point to the ruleset.

    In the common western history of art, the forbidden fruit has been often identified as being an apple, but the Bible actually never mentions the type of fruit. It is likely that the author meant a fig, which makes sense from the context of the story. But thanks to a word play in Latin (the Latin word Malum means Apple but also Evil), we have been putting up with apples for the last few centuries. Anyway: nice sudoku!

    Fun puzzle and nice solve. One interesting observation: in the finished puzzle, all fruit are in garden squares. While that wasn’t a stated rule, it makes real-world sense that they’re only on garden spots and never inside the snakes!

    I finished in 84:58 minutes. I really like it when puzzles commit to a theme for a puzzle. It worked well in this puzzle. It was fun trying to maneuver the snakes around potential gardens. I think my favorite part was the ending of coloring, especially seeing that r7c4 couldn't be garden as it would force the r7c1 and r8c6 snakes to both be 3. There were other parts that were fun just like that. Great Puzzle!

    What an absolute treat! And so carefully set.
    I'm allways amazed at how spacios a sudoku grid really is. To fit those snakes and greens in there in such a way, my god, what a devine creator😉! 👏👏👏
    It would be lovely if the "red dots" find their way into the standard ruleset. Such a brilliant idea. Since they are apples, the remind me of how Ovid described them in "Narciss and Echo", like two halfs, colour-coded, always separated, as only one side is exposed to the light and the other will remain in the shadows.

    18:21 why the remaining cells in box 1 are entirely enclosed by snakes, I mean r1c1 can be a small garden of size 1. Although simon is correct here but he has not given the explanation for why r1c1 has to be snake. In my solve I deduced it was a snake because if it was garden both snakes in r4c2 and r2c4 will become of length 4 and break the rules of uniqueness of snake lengths.

I remember Simon said in the introduction of a video years ago that CTC only features _"extraordinary"_ puzzles. I think it should and it typically does.
    The *forbidden fruit* rule is fascinating and, together with Simon's introduction, it definitely arouses my curiosity.

    • @stupidas9466
      @stupidas9466 Месяц назад +1

      Snakes "move orthogonally through the grid"…in order to "branch" it would have to double back on itself. And since they aren't allowed to touch or cross themselves, that would be breaking the stated rules. Plus if it did double back onto itself in the path, it would tie itself in a knot and it would surely die. And this is a family friendly channel after all!

    • @RichSmith77
      @RichSmith77 Месяц назад +1

      @@awebmate Hmm. Not sure I agree. It being a snake is what implies it doesn't branch. If snakes were typically born with two heads, then I wouldn't consider the point where the snake branched to be a point where the snake touched itself anymore than any other point inside the snakes body. To touch itself, in my view, that suggests two separate points on the surface of the snake coming into contact with one another.

    28:15 Simon says that the snake can only go to one of R2C7 and R3C6 - but could the snake not have doubled back on itself at that point and eventually joined the snake head in R5C8? Appreciate the puzzle solved differently but could the snake have gone R1C6, R2C6, R2C7, R3C7, R3C6 and then, for example along column 4 to the finish?

      A snake cannot touch itself orthogonally. In your example, cells r2c6 and r3c6 would be the snake touching itself.

    Fitting that in a biblical sudoku, 3 does not lose its religion, although I feel like 3’s still lost its religion too much to participate in this puzzle

    18:20 - This is Simon being lucky, as usual.
    "This is entirely enclosed by snake" is no grounds for making the corner "snake" as well. That making it "garden" creates two length four snakes, is...

    18:20 R1C1 could be a garden though... based on the reasoning... but then both snakes should be 4-s which is forbidden...

    I really hate when puzzles have this wording "Orthogonally connected groups of non-snake cells..." - because it reads then that you can't have a garden size of 1 cell... But I know that's not often the case, that sometimes despite being plural, you can have groups of 1 - and then I never know if I should be reading that you can't have gardens of 1 and is that part of the solving mechanism of this...
    I wish it would say "Orthogonally connected groups of 1 or more non-snake cells"

    I don’t get this ‘solving’ issue. Are people seriously complaining that you’re aiding the solving process while reading the rules? Ignore these people please for your own sake, Simon.

      They are too busy hanging around in the Garden of Eden to bother with something as clever as sudoku solving.
