Wow!! I did some work & then I was stuck. I didn't know what else to do till I watched Kathy learn that those four cells need to add to six. Once I knew that, the rest of the solve went well. My time was like 45 minutes. Also I learned that it lets you color after entering the last digit.
9:11 Wow! Nice job, Kathy. That break-in is much more elegant than how I did it. Nice design and great solve. The alternative way was broadly equivalent: r3c2->r2c5!=r4c5->r5c2. It essentially ends up doing the same thing in a different order, but your way is much cleaner, I think.
13:41 I got a bit stuck somehow placing the 456 near the end. Some colouring did the trick. That is really impressive how you basically discover SET theory all by yourself. Some very nice logic you displayed. I do think the setter intended on this set for the break in. 'Hi Luna, want me to hold you?.... She ran away.' That made me laugh out loud. Cats are weird.
Oh sorry I cut that out on purpose to just show I was trying all these color options that did not end up working. But that one was just the same way of coloring as I did at the top, just with the second page of colors.
28:20 for me, but definitely wasn't an elegant solve by any means. Really liked the math you did for columns 2/5. Once you did the coloring at 16:57, would have been a bit more straightforward to color r5c1
Wow, indeed, what a break in. I got totally stuck where you needed time to figure it out. I couldn't, pfff. Lol. Well done!
use SET Theory on Rows 2 and 5 v Columns 2 and 5, then remove the arrows. 5:42 for me
Did it in 9:18 using Set Theory.
Absolutely, this puzzle seems like a great introduction to SET.

Set Equivalence Theory is the way to go! This is the first puzzle I've spotted the need for SET and used it, to great success!
The arrows are restricted by the geometry... therefore 6s and 5s can only be placed in one way in rows two and five.
Completed in 3m48s
Interesting puzzle but I just settled for watching Kathy.
It was giving me a headache lol.
Nice job on solving by Kathy.

Very interesting. I did not see that.

DNF a deceptive amount of math in this one.
What the heck happened at 11:38? The video skipped forward, and I have no idea how you got those other colors in the grid.
