Just another absolutely beauty of sublime setting. Monster SET to get the break in. Your Hanukkah puzzles certainly have been enjoyable Secret Santa! Wonderful job Rangsk with this!!
An amazing puzzle, but I'm not going to lie: I couldn't find the SET and had to watch the first part of Rangsk's solve to break me in after spending nearly 5 minutes floundering around. Once I had the break-in, however, the rest of the puzzle flowed pretty well and I finished in 30:51 - no idea how much time to add for me missing the set! 😅 Many thanks to the Secret Santa for an incredible puzzle, and to Rangsk for presenting it and giving me the needed break-in!
An easier way of getting the 2 in Box 2 was to notice the 3456 quadruple you had in Column 4 which also gets you the 8s in Box 2 & 8 Lovely puzzle, I have to confess that I needed your assistance with the break-in but after that it was a case of whittling down the options on the Little Killers/Diagonals
Noticing the 4/5 pair in box 7 seeing the 3/5 pair in box 1 at 20min…20 min later you see it! Just so funny to see it start to unravel everything after that
You solved the set to find three possible 9 locations and then you figured out a bunch of sudoku which got rid of two of the nines.. That + getting rid of the 5 on the NW.SE diagonal is what's sticking out to me. It sure would be much easier with two people to help keep track of things!
Several minutes the first day and several minutes the second day would have been saved if you had remembered the three possible 9 locations.. Glad to see you didn't give up!
This was the first ever of these kinds of sudoku I tried and solved it in 85 mins after getting the corners through your set (don't understand yet how this works) and learning about minimums/maximums. Somehow it solved very cleanly for me, but I cannot get the replay to play to see if I placed something with luck instead of certainty...
Does this mean you are his Secret Santa? 😉😁 Thank you for all have you done in this community this past year!! Wishing you a healthy ,happy joyous 2025!!

I needed help with the break in. Once I had the 1,2,8,9 in the corners, the rest of the puzzle only took another 35 minutes.

No chance I was getting this one on my own, but I did follow along the whole video. Your persistence is impressive

Alas!!! The initial set work was not correct!!

I'm sorry you missed the SET on this puzzle, it was a diagonal SET up
