Thanks for posting this. Lots of different solve paths today. A couple notes on yours at the end, mainly on the flanking pairs. - my solve 1st run ~3 minutes. 2nd run @ 2’17. Best run → 83 seconds. Let’s see. A flanking 1,2 pair unlocks the SE early. This pivots into a rare digit solve on 678. And then on 5s. More flanking pairs (3,4) leads to a left side collapse. And it finishes well. -- your solve - 1:30 r6 flanking pair You can do something with those edge segments via r6. Flanking pairs linger on the edges influencing the interior. 1,2 → c1r6 & c8r6 4 → c5r6 limit 4 sees 123 3 → c8r7 only poss 3 c8 Oddly enough, you quickly see the r2 flanking pair, 34. You get the r6 one at about 4:00 - 5:00 c8 lower Turning at the end of r6 yields 3 → c8r7 only poss 3 c8 r7 resolves - 7:00 c1 34 pair 2 → c1r4 limit 3 sees 13 1 → c1r3 5 → c1r5 You get this at 8:00 You have my support in marking flanking pairs. I’m sure that helps some people. Especially in bigger puzzles. Upcoming puzzles for example.
Not sure the best way to contact you, but I've been working on a puzzle generator for One Up, and am curious how this one feels: sudokupad.app/u5l3so6c1v Still in the early prototyping stages.
@@Rangsk Oooh. Sweet. Did you get my email addy I posted? The puzzle. I tried three or four different starting places and the NW seems best. Fractionally faster. It’s very segmented. I imagine frustrating for habitual note takers and easier for the rest, from partial note takers to nearly nevers. I’m interested in the generator. I’ve been building with paper and pen.
07:23 for me. Really interesting that we did this so differently. My solve was mostly the small numbers at first. I didn't place any of the 7 or 8s until almost the end.
You see where the black square is, and the way it has the bordered square below it? Don't those two squares together look like a 9? And then two columns over the two squares that have borders that also have to be 1's kind of form a 5? So those all form a 95... and this was puzzle 295... I think they're counting up to 300.
Yes, great you noticed!!! I always try to put the number of the puzzle with the clues, but I can´t put a 9 in an 8x8 board so I put a 2 with the draw of the 9 and 5 to form 295

-- your solve
- 1:30 r6 flanking pair
You can do something with those edge segments via r6. Flanking pairs linger on the edges influencing the interior.
1,2 → c1r6 & c8r6
4 → c5r6 limit 4 sees 123
3 → c8r7 only poss 3 c8
Oddly enough, you quickly see the r2 flanking pair, 34.
You get the r6 one at about 4:00
- 5:00 c8 lower
Turning at the end of r6 yields
3 → c8r7 only poss 3 c8
r7 resolves
- 7:00 c1 34 pair
2 → c1r4 limit 3 sees 13
1 → c1r3
5 → c1r5
You get this at 8:00

Or is it more a random generator?
@@Rangsk Oh interesting! I'd love to see something like that.
It's a random generator, not really useful for hand setting
I had never seen this game before I started watching your videos. I’m so used to sodoku I really have to concentrate on this.
Welcome!
It's really a refreshing take on pencil puzzles like Sudoku

Around 9minutes but pinceling almost everything. LOL
8:02. Probably should've been faster; I saw things more clearly than when I solved it.
First time doing an 8x8 23:38
Congrats!
Good job!

@@RodolfoKurchan You create the puzzle?! That's amazing. How do you do that?
30minutes and 1 reset today, but a nice one!
