This one is absolute madness, though I spent most of the puzzle going "...is Simon going to realize he mis-marked the 1s? how does he not notice? how is he going to recover when it breaks?!"

What's amazing isn't that this is solvable, it's that it's possible for it to be so hard with so many givens.

watching simon place 1's in a column where there exist a 1 already.... more painful than expected

Silly Simon, people don't watch videos like this because they like Sudoku. The best creators on KZfaq make whatever they love interesting to other people. I have a lot of interests, but I didn't seek out a channel about death. I found Caitlin Doughty. I didn't seek out a linguistics channel. I found NativeLang. And while I like Sudoku and will spend an hour on one of the puzzles you solve and every once in a while I'll even crack one, I enjoy the joy in your voice as you solve it, whenther it is one I could do myself or (more often) not.

Simon: "I'll do a classic Sudoku with a lot of given digits for this one. Simple and easy."

By the way I have put this into a solver to see what would happen, and it was the exact same phenomenon as we saw in Sam Cappleman-Lynes' multisector locked set puzzle. The computer uses several consecutive XY-cycles, grouped X-cycles and alternating inference chains before getting a digit, which is a completely different digit from what Simon finds. Once again, Shye has come up with a technique that the computer failed to see, just like Sam back in the day. Amazing!

I am astounded that Simon is able to just spot new logic like this. Without knowing what the new technique would be, he managed to focus exactly on what would lead to the break-in. Amazing!

Watching Simon solve a puzzle is like watching Morse, Holmes or Columbo solve a crime. Following the clues and breadcrumbs until you get to the singular conclusion.

The 4 minutes of agony after the gorgeous logical deductions where Simon forgets that he's eliminated one of the yellow pair of 6s.

A lovely classic sudoku this was, and a great solve too. If anyone from CTC is reading this comment, I have a request: Please update your "How To Set A Sudoku" playlist with the newest setter videos (Clover, Piotr V) and create a new "Podcasts" playlist. Otherwise it's hard to find the setter/podcast videos amongst all the solves.

Simon excitedly ruling things out because "one of the yellow squares has to be a six", and then gleefully ignoring for the rest of the solve that "one of the yellow squares has to be a six" is probably a testament to the novelty of the approach shye was forcing him to use.

Congrats Shye, what a beautiful puzzle. It was just the right level of hard for me (it took me 45 minutes to get the trick, but I was always on the cusp, which kept me going - so rewarding!). Also, the fact that we were allowed to put a few diguts in early is so nice to get invested in a puzzle before facing the challege. What a ride. A testament to how well the puzzle was set: we were visually pointed to the corners (the fact that you used 1234 was such a nice touch to signal where to look). A masterpiece.
