SamuPiano here! Wonderful and clean solve from you today, Mark! It's always a pleasure to see more peas on the channel :) Sujoyku and I have become frequent collaborators, and we were hoping one of these would make it to the channel eventually! The idea for this one was mostly sujoyku's, and I found a nice configuration that resolved with a neat trick at the end. We are very happy with how it turned out, and we are glad you liked it!
It made me SO HPPY for Mark to get towards the end and say "Why aren't these getting resolved?" then the dismay in his voice when he realized "I'm gonna have to color something here!" I stared at those same last 28 squares for nearly 10 minutes before I gave up and starter coloring. I knew, I just KNEW, I was missing something. So nice to see that it wasn't just me!!! "This is very surprising indeed!"
@@Ardalambdion I try to avoid coloring, as it's something that can only be done in a software-based environment, and only done well on Sven's wonderful package. It isn't an option on simpler devices (like airplane entertainment centers), and not at all on pencil-and-paper, so I feel like learning to rely on coloring is setting myself up for failure in those venues. Which, in all honesty, I've not touched in years. Ok, maybe I'll try getting over it!
The "Z" in German produces a "TS" sound like in "Tsunami" ... the term literally means "pea counter", which in German amounts to what Brits would figuratively call a "nit picker".
I finished in 57 minutes. This was an excellent combination of two great rulesets. I really liked the way I had to work my way up from the bottom using the tens digits. I think my favorite part was the utilization of the pea clue in box 1. The geometry of that came in clutch in determining the clue that spanned from box 4 to box 2. The hardest part for me was resolving the long clue from box 9 to box 3. It felt like it had too many options until I combined it with my favorite part previously mentioned. That was so satisfying to spot, though. Another amazing pea puzzle by two pea in a pod constructors. Great Puzzle!
Mistake at 9:00? 9+8+7+9=33, so there could have been two 3s in those circles at the end of your blue highlighted line. This meant the logic for placing the 2s at 9:45 was slightly off. There's a 2 on the purple line, so the orange and yellow lines share a 2 in r2c6. That places the 2 on the purple line in r5c9. The same result, but no need to rely on assuming blue has to have a 2.
That would break the other line in box 3, which would have to be at most 6+5+4=15, there can be no other 1 in circles. Edit: another line of logic is that the line I mentioned has to be at least 22, which means there's a 9 in it.
@pairot01 I know there are reasons it can be disproved. But that's not Mark's reasoning. Quote "Can be 9,8,7 with another 9...that could just get to 3...but no, that would mean either 31 or 30 ..." That's a simple addition error. He doesn't attempt to explain why 32 or 33 can be ignored.
Agreed. His logic was flawed. (which does happen on VERY rare occasions). I often solve in parallel with the video. I pause the video for a while and do a bit, then play the video until Mark or Simon catches up. When I see something like this happen it throws me off. Because the rest of the solve is based on broken logic.
Thanks for this interesting video, Mark. I loved your solve and how you worked through the maxima and minima in order to come up with the digits in the circles. And I also love that you used "maxima" and "minima" as being the correct plurals!

2:28:59 - Lovely setting; I managed to do this one without watching the video. I got pretty massively stuck a couple of times, but there were some very pretty moments that made it all worthwhile.
I really enjoyed this puzzle, I got stuck at the end and thought that maybe I had made a mistake. I watched the video and had almost the same solve path at Mark, so when back to the puzzle before he started colouring and it unraveled itself beautifully
Fun puzzle. Really impressive how a simple set of overlaps on the in c7/c8 can unwind so much, if you've got the right priors in place. Very satisfying.
Normally I struggle with split pea lines, but the counting circles really reduced the available options. Not too hard of a puzzle, save for spotting a couple naked singles out of the blue.
Has anyone explosives that Erbsenzähler in actual use means something like nitpicker? (Literally it’s a pea counter). We have another visual phrase to mean the same thing: “Korinthenkacker” - literally “raisin pooper”.
I got as far as placing the 1, and narrowed the circle total down to to possibilities, but doing all that the math was turning out to be just too tiring for me this evening. I gave up and just watched the video solve.
4:45 Do you collect stamps? Followed by them stomping on your foot. Have you ever been to the capital of Thailand? Followed by another act of totally unacceptable bodily assault… 😮
49:41 for my solve. I did follow more or less the same path as Mark. I was surprised not to struggle more on the large diagonal, which was rather cool. Funny puzzle.
Very efficient solve from Mark. He had a few minor slip-ups and things he overlooked, but nothing that caused much lost time. I enjoy watching his solves when he is on fire like this.

Good work, both of you! Took me more than an hour, but I enjoyed it! 🙂
Excellent construction with powerful final effect of flavoured *1-4 pairs.* Cool logic on the *36 diagonal.* Thank you for setting it.

You should colour more often. I strongly suggested that when I saw 1s and 4s everywhere.
same here lol!
I coloured the 14 pairs :P
Same here, that was a tough part

Yes, it was clearly a logic mistake. @8:34 he miscalculated *9+8+7+9.* A glitch in his *overclocked* math co-processor. 🙃

I can only agree 100% with all that Samu said.
Thank you for this wonderful feature, Mark!

Felt like I'd solved all the fun logic with the split peas and the counting circles, got bogged down with sudoku at the end
Hi from Palatinate, Germany. Your pronunciation of Erbsenzähler (first occurence) was almost perfect, as well as zwölf (12).
Great puzzle! Hope to see this peas rules set again.
Took me a good two hours to solve, but finally I managed to do it. Now I going to watch how an expert solves it much quicker.

first logical deduktion Maximus is a 6 in a circle.. 2 minutes later, this could be a 7 and this could be a 7.
14:12 for me. Very enjoyable puzzle, really liked it!
This messed with my brain and for some reason had me think it wasn't possible to have repeat digits on a line, which made me give up quickly.
8:45 that logic appears to be wrong.
33,32 still possible
Nope, the other line in box 3 needs a 9, because the circles can't have 1 so it adds to at least 22.
@@pairot01 of course. but you have to SAY that. omission of that step is a logical error, an unjustified JUMP
48.20 for me. After the circles it was not easier. Great puzzle.
19:30 "How could this be 26?"
How indeed. You've previously mentioned two of the three digits cannot be 9s, so it's a maximum of 8+8+9=25.
I really enjoyed this puzzle, I got stuck at the end and thought that maybe I had made a mistake. I watched the video and had almost the same solve path at Mark, so when back to the puzzle before he started colouring and it unraveled itself beautifully
Fun puzzle. Really impressive how a simple set of overlaps on the in c7/c8 can unwind so much, if you've got the right priors in place. Very satisfying.
9:00 why those two circles couldn't be both 3?
Because of the other line in box 3, that has to add up to >20.
Lovely puzzle.
44:21, fun solve, just got super stuck on the 36 line at the end, took more work than I expected to figure that one out.
title means "ENTITY that counts peas"
shortest english version would be "pea counter"
He who counts the Ps
@@pairot01 not necessarily "he", because it could still be "it". that's why i used the word "entity", which encompasses all possibilities

First comment merry Christmas amd a happy new year with more cracking the cryptic sudoku adventures in new year ❤❤❤
39:07 ... I made a booboo which cost me time, but otherwise fared well
Peas Be With You! (Nice puzzle!
32:12 for me. That was a fun one!
Took me a while to spot the bent triple to wrap this up, after mistakingly forgotten about the 578 20 total earlier in my solve.
Ah, so THAT explains why I'm stuck. I can never see bent triples 😢. I now have to abandon my attempt to solve this one.😢😢
Mark found a different path ignoring the bent triple. The bent triple I spotted was r2c7, r4c7, and r6c9, having their effect on r1c9.
I got as far as placing the 1, and narrowed the circle total down to to possibilities, but doing all that the math was turning out to be just too tiring for me this evening. I gave up and just watched the video solve.
9+9+8+7=33.
Luckily it turned out not to matter.
The other line in box 3 needs to be at least 22 (the circles can't have 1), so it must have a 9
Fun puzzle, 31:35 for me.
26:32 for me. Gosh Mark is fast!!
4:45 Do you collect stamps? Followed by them stomping on your foot.

He's been on fire lately, and very jolly too! Love it 😁
51:39 for me.
45:54 for me. wasted at least 20 minutes on a bunch of pointless logic, because i dont know how to add up to 36. what a waste of solve.
