Finished in just under an hour. Tried once on my phone, switched to my pc thinking I could see the color better. Ended up having to corner notate with letters. Was a mess to look at, but somehow found it easier than coloring.
55:45 I started doing something quite wrong: I presumed (?) that R6C4 was in the 5 cage at column 9... It took me a while to try to solve it and then I couldn't finish, because altought it was in the cage, all of my logic was wrong. Restarted, keep my time of about 35~40min, and tried again. This time I used my favorite trick: coloured everything in the middle band. And it worked!! Solved in about 20min ou 25. It was a great puzzle. My first messy try was just... messy ha! 😅 Thank you for your solve. Now I had to see how you solved it! 🤔🤗
Ooooh I didn’t like this one. Didn’t like it at all. My fault entirely though. Sometimes James seems to hit a blind spot of mine and I just can’t figure it out. I did eventually, feeling I dug my way out of angry quicksand. Now to watch the video to learn how it’s done.
great puzzle! loved the logic between renbans cages and sudoku. Took me well over 30 mins.
I love a colouring puzzle!
James is an excellent setter, and his puzzles a pleasure to do
20:40. Enjoyed it, but it was difficult. Nice one, Sleuth.
Such a great puzzle ,just over 2 hours for me.
Another beauty :) Lovely how the renbans and cages interacted, took me about an hour to solve, but again, very satisfying. Thanks Sleuth! Love, Sheila
My pleasure 😊
The logic here was simply gorgeous. 37:45 for me. 😄
That was a very satisfying puzzle. Took me half a pack of Hobnobs.
45:43 here, required a lot of colouring but solved without help from your side 🙂. Thanks Sleuth for featuring this puzzle.
My pleasure!
Very interesting ...
Glad you think so!
Yay! Thanks for featuring this puzzle. I solved it yesterday, but struggled and wish I would have used my box of Crayons! ❤
You are so welcome!
70:43 ... can't believe the mental gymnastics it needed for me to solve this one. Certainly a challenge for me.
Sorry, not really a mid-week puzzle!

I can understand that. 9 colours are tough to discern for sure!

😃
Hopefully less messy 😉
Has anyone been able to complete the other sudoku in this week's subscription? The one called storm surge
Nice solve Sleuth! I found this very difficult to solve and failed. I think even with colouring, it was hard!
James did give it 9/10, I should have used the one with extra clues or at least linked that one!
@ oh wow, was it! Well done again then!
21:45 for me without extra clues
