50:20, took a really long time to get the break in, (eventually) saw I had to use the cages and The Secret, but I worked around the grid to find where it got limited enough to actually start putting in digits.
Very interesting to hear all of your reasoning around the sum of the dotted line cages at the beginning, Mark. I always learn so much from watching your solves! Thanks for this video!

Very nice solve, get some rest, feel better soon Mark!
You were truly extra charming on 4:47 to 5:00! I was beaming from joy.
It is possible to solve the whole Hobbit hunt over a weekend - and the puzzles are brilliant.

Easier way to work out Orange's value, which Mark was so close to seeing, is you I can't fit 12346 into six spaces in row one.
Yes, if he had considered the row 1 and column 9 restrictions together instead of separately, he would have been able to rule out 7 at that point.
Finished in 41:56 with help from the video. This wasn't fun.

gpt the 36, then i mis-clicked and filled more squares at once. that messed up my solve.
1:05:08 for me, with many mistakes. Yikes.
