Hi Zetamath. I've been wacthing Cracking the Crytic for a good 3 months now on a daily basis now. And I came across this reaction video, or rather stream to be more percise, To this puzzle that Simon has conquered. (Dovetail) I watched Simon's video first, than later, I came across your reaction to this very same video I watched the hours later. So, I watched your video to see your reaction. Well to say the least, I was intrigued in this.. I had even watched a few more video's (or streams) with you reacting to Simon on completing a puzzle you had set in the past. I have to give credit to Simon for not getting any help. I truly think he is a brilliaint solver without any help. He may take the long way around... But he gets there. I love how he explains things in such a way... In such a way I can see you saying in this stream that you may come up with another puzzle..lol Anyway, the main reason I am writing you, I've never set a puzvle before, But I have a concept, an idea, that I've never seen in any solves and/or rules even for that matter. I will not share them here now. But my question is, How do I even begn to set up puzzles in the first place? I'm sure you have tips in puzzle setting? Where do I begin in this journey? Where do I start? My main question is on a basic mode, what are the limitations in creating a puzzle? I have recognized Jay Dyer and a couple of other names in setters on you stream live chat. I subcribed to you an put the bells on. But where do I begin in this quest??? I am sure there is people in your community that can help me in this idea that I have. But I would lovev to here you thoughts... I will not offer my thoughts publicly in a thread such as this. (sorry) I hae googled on where to begin... But nothing came up for me to set a puzzle for a variant suoku. Anyway... I hope you have a greaat day, and most of all I hope this message sees you well. :D
There are a few online tools that people use for setting. Sudoku Maker and f-puzzles are probably both quite approachable. All my puzzles from this year were set on stream, and the stream is linked in the LMD page, so you can find videos to see how I approach different kinds of puzzles.
I don't k ow if the software would allow it, but another way to make the lines distinct is to use variations of dotted and dashed lines.
At a time when printers would only print in black and white, we had to use dots and dashes (and short or long dashes and other variations).
Really liked the break in for this one, great work Zetamath and friends!
I didn't learn of this until after I finished the puzzle and watched Simon. By then, it was way too late to participate.
I needed Simon's help for the break-in. I needed to be put on notice of the "secret" and the cell that saw the entire blue line. Then again, ruling out the 9 in favor of the 3. IIRC, afterwards, I made some headway, then got stuck -- where Simon got stuck in the video.
30:10 IIRC again, it didn't take either Simon or myself long to figure out the pattern of yellow-12 on the gray line, although it took me a bit longer to show that 12 dangled down in block 6.
39:00 16 vs. 25 on that three-cell segment: I didn't resolve it until much later. But 12 helped with the gray line. (Can't recall how, right now.)
47:10 I wonder if Maverick deliberately flies by when Simon records a video. And that's where I got stuck.
1:02:40 At this point, one may notice that 3 in block 8 is forced onto the red line. The other digit, being even, is somewhat constrained.
I loved this puzzle actually, I really do. But next time please just organize the rules better. Separating each type with a bullet point would've made it easier to read
I didn't actually write the rules that CTC used, so I'm afraid I can't help with that one!
Does anyone have the link to the setting stream for this?
Link in the description! I also always put the link to the setting streams on the LMD page of the puzzle, so if you want to see the setting stream for any of my recent puzzles, you can find the links there!
nice!
