A Beautifully Constructed Hybrid (Sudoku) 

Thanks Mark for featuring this puzzle and also mentioning my book. As usual, a wonderful solve. This was one of my favourites from the book as well because of the solve path and also the way it was designed.

I appreciate these "easier" puzzles being featured on the channel as it gives me a chance to actually solve something, even if it takes me an hour. Or in this case, 51 minutes.

Man, 40 minutes straight for me. Still new at this. A very satisfying puzzle to solve though.

Akash consistently has such amazing puzzles in his books. He truly is a genius, and I always look forward to each new World of Sudoku book.

I tried this puzzle but only got about half way through before realizing I had really messed something up at start. Turns out that I was stupid and forgot that the top right 11 sum could use repeated digits. Great solve Mark, I'm still amazed at how quickly you broke into box 2.

I finished in 28 minutes. The break-in was very satisfying and it's consequence on the other sums around the grid was excellent. Great Puzzle!

Lovely construction. After the first easy box 8 I stared at it and finally saw the way the clues combined to make the way clear. After that each remband in turn proved crucial.

25:46 A really interesting ruleset. I'll definitely be heading to get the pdf and (assuming this is a representative sample) I suspect 9 previous ones.

Finished in 19:17. Interesting interplay between the renban lines and sum circles. Fun puzzle!

One of Simon's earliest videos is about sujiko/suko puzzles; pure gold to watch as the last 15 minutes of the video is just a black screen. Anyways, that is where I first saw these quad clues before. Enjoyable constraint not used often enough.

31:19 - very nice flow to the puzzle!

This was certainly fun! I will give it a try later on - right now I am happy to have watched you solve it, Mark. Thanks!

19:44, a couple of rules I'm bad with, but how the high/low circle clues affected each other in boxes 2 and 8 gave me a start and I was able to slowly work my way to the end.

26:42 for me. Had a little bit of a slow middle, but it I was still able to work through it little by little. I didn't get stuck anywhere though. Overall a nice puzzle.

9:42 for me. Great puzzle!!

Excellent puzzle and video. @14:17 an *X-wing* on *9s* was available in *rows 3* and *4,* powerfully acting on *columns 1-9.* You can find it easily by carefully pencilmarking the empty cells in *rows 4* and *5.*

00:17:36 for me. Loved the puzzle! Nice break in to get going. Kind comment.

Absolutely delightful.

I’m glad for the added (sudoku) in the title, thought it was talking about a great hybrid car for a minute😅

I like how this puzzle works out! My time today was 18:12, solver number 8243.

15:43 for me, fun puzzle!

Lovely puzzle. Beautifully smooth solution path.

27:30 for me. Nice puzzle!

Finished in 32:55. Good puzzle!

Very slick setting, thanks.

Well, hardly ever. Three big cheers for Sime and you For your mastery of the sodoku.

26:19 for me. Really nice construction.

Great thumbnail!

Another lovely puzzle for today!

Brilliant puzzle.

Nice one, solved in 29:10.

Nice! 38:26 for me.

I love this rule set.

I think the 18 clue on the corner of boxes 4,5,7 and 8 was redundant.

26:55 for me - I made a mistake early on when I erased the wrong pencil mark, so annoying.

17:36 for me nice puzzle

33:34 for me and solver #2147.

14:50 for me.

Boy that looked easier that I made it out to be. 35:40.

18:33 for me

So rare that I get to yell at Mark to check his sudoku

Getting tired. Cost me a little time. Fun 52 minute solve, but I think only one more puzzle for today.

At first I thought these were quad circles but it quickly broke

he hardly ever talks like thaat!

16:37 for me. horrible solve. i missed most of the thing on first look.

01:45:32 Definitely should have gone to sleep earlier...

29:39 for me

23:18 for me
