** TODAY'S PUZZLE **
We don't want to say too much about this latest sudoku from Chameleon. We just encourage you to give it a go. It has 1 star for difficulty (suggesting it should be very easy) and a ludicrous 80% approval rating - we would give it 100%.
Play the puzzle at the link below:
link.sudokupad.app/chameleon-...
Rules:
Normal sudoku rules apply ie place digits 1-6 into each row, column and box without repeats. Most of the grid is covered in fog; placing correct digits (without guessing!) will clear the fog from adjacent cells. Digits in a cage cannot repeat and sum to the small clue in the top left corner (if given). Digits do not repeat on a blue line.
** NEW SUDOKU HUNT JUST OUT **
A sudoku hunt, Let's Get Kraken (with a new movie theme!), will be released on 1 July at 4pm UK time on Patreon.
Join us on Patreon for as little as $2 a month to play.

Hi there, Chameleon in the house :) Having this puzzle solved on the channel was a pleasant surprise for me! Hope that it brings a smile on somebody's face :) P.S. It's not a 1-star for difficulty for sure. I guess that people on LMD decided to return the joke...

I laughed out loud at this puzzle multiple times, and then had to explain to my fiance why a sudoku of all things was funny. Also, at 23:14 - you are correct that you missed something that is (IMO) easier to spot. If you consider the 8-cage and the 7-cage together, you should quickly realize that if the 7-cage has a 2 in column 4, it forces a 4 into column 5 in both the 7 and the 8 cage simultaneously, which obviously does not work. That also gives you enough info to get the 2 in the bottom right and the rest of the solve proceeds the same way.

An easier way of finding 2 in the corner is just to extrapolate from the 8-cage. If it's 3-1-4 then the 4 looks up at a 2/4, which uses up the 2 in c5 ... and if it's 2-1-5 then the 2 looks up at a 2/4 pair, using up the 2 in c5 ... so either way the 2 in box 6 has to be in r6c6.

22:45 for me. The easy path forward at 19:30 is to realize that the six cell cage has to contain all 6 digits, and the only place for green is R6C4. Then, by Sudoku, there is no green or purple in the 8 cell cage. That means the 8 cell cage can only contain one of the digits 356, which rules out 135 as a way to fill it. So R4C4 has to be a 2.

At 23:32 I'm absolutely astonished how Simon has managed to prove there's a 2 in the corner without noticing that the 8-cage in either version resolves the 2/4 pair in row 2 in the same way, because either it's a 2/1/5 resolving a 4/2 up top, or it's a 3/1/4, also resolving a 4/2 up top.

r3c4 really looks like it is on the same blue line as r1c6 and r2c5, but it isn't. Likewise r6c6 is not on a blue line. I write this because at first I took them to be, the graphics could be clearer on this.

Yeah, the lines went all the way to the edge of the cage, which is not normal, so I assumed they lead on, but had to be clipped for the graphics/text.

Sub-20 for me, not bad at all, what a fun puzzle! Now to watch Simon solve it :D

There are a few ways of finishing the puzzle and the last bit of fog. I noted that 4 couldn't go in r2c5, as it would force two 2s in c4. But I did initially make the assumption about the line going into r6c6. It's the only thing I wasn't too happy with, but otherwise was fun. I also think you could have done more with the 356 colours if you looked at green and the 6cell cage.

13:37 for me, got stuck on the 36s at the end until i saw the `>3` clue. lol

I feel like I must’ve done something wrong because I was able to reveal the corner digit without putting something directly into it. Using the “green in the 6 cell cage” logic that others have referred to, you can propagate a lot more info around the grid - and I determined that a 3 in the 8 cage would have put a 3 in the upper right corner. So I got the 2 there and the 5 before I got the 2 in the corner 😅 Oh well! Still a fun solve that I had to try about 4 times (I got caught on assuming the blue line extended methinks.)

I solved this one a couple days ago, very fun puzzle!!

I'm awful at Sudoku. I got to the coloring phase and could not proceed. I'm glad Simon had a pause at that point.

I honestly prefer having the conflict checker turned on. The conflicts are always obvious enough, you just have to land your eyeballs on them. I'd rather have the grid point them out to me than spend 15 minutes being lost because of one small thing I never see.

Completed in 7m49s. It may have been amusing... but it was also very simple.

The laugh is priceless for puzzling that X was great discovery..toobad he couldnt get the arcs as close as possible as the sfwr would allow. This puzzle was solvable once the 8 block was revealed as it fixes the 7block...the crazy thing is if u assumed the RHS arc continuous , the puzzle broke. Fun puzzle

This puzzle took me a surprisingly long time. I suspect that I took the longest ever. I used letters for 356, substituting them only in the last few plays. The setter took a pot-shot at Simon, resolving the final 356 ambiguity by specifying no 3 in the corner. 6:40 I snickered when Simon said, "We mustn't repeat on that diagonal." (This is after I finished the puzzle.) 8:40 My version said, "You guessed it. It's 7!" 9:40 I snickered every time Simon referred to the diagonals or the X. Then I utterly lost it at the reveal. 13:50 More snickering when Simon said there's another (shape). 16:30 2 in the 23 cell forces 2 into the corner. What happens with 4 in the 45 cell instead? 21:20 If 45 is 4, then 24 must be 2, forcing 2 into the corner as well. Heads I win, tails you lose: in the 8-cage, if R4C4 is 2, then R2C4 is 4. If R5C5 is 4 then R2C5 is 2.

You could get the 2 in the corner much earlier at 16:16. If you tried placing 2 in r6c5 then r2c5 would be a 4, putting 2 in r2c4, which puts 3 in r4c4, and a 4 in r5c5 to complete the cage total. But then we have two 4s in c5. So the 2 must go r6c6.
