** IT'S LIVE: OUR KICKSTARTER CAMPAIGN LAUNCHED **
Thank you so much to everyone who supported our Kickstarter which launched last Wednesday. Want to take a grab a copy of Cracking The Cryptic's Greatest Hit Volume 2? Here's the link:
www.kickstarter.com/projects/...
** TODAY'S PUZZLE **
A fabulous collaboration today from BremSter, FullDeck and Missing a Few Cards in the form of Sawyer Beetle - which looks great and solves like a dream - whether or not you like insects :)
Play the puzzle at the link below:
app.crackingthecryptic.com/su...
Rules:
Normal sudoku rules apply. Cells separated by an X must contain digits summing to 10. Cells separated by a V must contain digits summing to 5. Not all possible Xs and Vs are given. Any set of three sequential cells along an orange "Entropic" line must contain a low digit (123), a middle digit (456) and a high digit (789). Digits may repeat on lines if allowed by other rules. Digits placed on a purple line must be a set of consecutive, non-repeating digits (in any order).
** PATREON BONUS **
A brand new classic sudoku by shye and jovi_al is awaiting your attention! It's called Another Language and this is a good title because it's quite a hard puzzle to understand :) We're running a competition until the end of October for the best solution guide we receive.
Also there's just one more day to submit your entries for the Duality Sudoku Hunt, our October monthly reward. Massive thanks and kudos to the Sudoku Skunkworks for creating such a brilliant set of puzzles (14 in all).
Join us on Patreon to watch the video for as little as $2/month here:

Taking the opportunity to collaborate with FullDeck and Missing a Few Cards was just a wonderful opportunity I couldn't pass up. Then we started talking about what we wanted to try, and this just happened; way faster than we expected. I think maybe because it was based on ideas we had been playing with independently. Some of the logic we put into this is stuff we are still exploring and finding new things, which is always one of the wonderful benefits of collaborating, different people think different ways and when you combine those different observations the most amazing little things can be discovered. Thank you for the feature. It is very nice to see Simon solve a puzzle that isn't SET of mine, because really, I don't use SET that often. And Happy Birthday Simon's Dad. I hope everyone has a great day, and I really do wish everyone Good Luck With Your Solving. BremSter

Simon's colouring always messes with my head as I always use blue for low, green for mid and yellow for high. However everyone should always be free to live their own chromatic lifestyle. 🏳‍🌈

Using blue, yellow and green to label three ordered categories then using yellow as the middle instead of green is some true chromatic chaos XD

But green is not between blue and yellow, it is what you get when you add green to yellow, which is also the case here!
@tomsamper4345
@tomsamper4345 Год назад
@@Antinomiste aside from the typo (I believe you meant to say blue instead of green in the last part of that sentence) I’m afraid what you are referring to is only applicable in subtractive color theory, removing colors from the reflective spectrum, which would bring our mathematical jumping jacks to a whole different level of weird. In additive color theory (like you can see with LEDs and computer screens) blue red and green are the primary colors and you get yellow when you add green and red (crazy right?)
@Antinomiste
@Antinomiste Год назад
​@@tomsamper4345 I had a feeling you were gonna talk about color theory. You're right, of course. For the record I was referring to no theory, just jokingly to the common practical experience of mixing watercolor. But I think my mystake was elsewhere, I have weird intuitions about colors, I guess people do see green as in between blue and yellow and it is in a strong sense between the two.

@@Antinomiste there are lots of ways to 'order' colours. An obvious one though is the spectrum though - red, orange, yellow, green, blue... If we think of light wavelengths green is certainly between yellow and blue.

Something I love about Sudoku is you'll always have a different experience to someone else solving the same puzzle. You'll always think of a different method to solving the same boxes. Watching you go through process of elimination rather than just eliminating the 46 consecutive pair on the orange was quite funny.

This was a hard-yet-approachable puzzle, I think. I managed to solve in under 2 hours, and it would have been a lot faster than that had I remembered to color the 1-4 pair in box 5. Even without that, I was able to figure out so many things so that when I *did* finally color and number them, the rest of the puzzle fell apart quickly. Thanks to the setters, and Simon for showing it on the channel.

So many brilliant moments! The bounceback action in this one yet again was infectious! I agree with other commenters here that the choice of yellow as middle and green as high instead of the other way around is suspect lol. Also, the 3 in the corner didn’t get its song! Brilliantly set and solved nonetheless, very enjoyable. Favorite quotes from today’s video: - “Sawyer Beetle, you have been dispatched!” Favorite words and phrases from today’s video: - “middly” - “sixage” - “bluification” - “yellowify”

I know the thumbnails are just a thing lately, but it’s making me legitimately want a Cracking the Cryptic anime series - there’s a depressing lack of sudoku based animation on the world.

I'm in my first year of playing Sudoku and love Cracking the Cryptic and BremSter..On this puzzle it seems I ended up with what I think you call a "Deadly Pattern" (Multiple Solutions) and got a "looks good to me" regardless of how I put the last 8 digits in box 1,2,3 (The 1's, 9's, 5's, & 8's).....Lots of fun anyway! Keep them coming!

Did you double check your V and X sums, plus Entropics and Renbans? When the multiple solutions happen for me it’s because I have a mistake in the extra rules somewhere.

@@grithog5399 I did, I ended up with a 1,9 pair in both column 2 & 7 rows 1 & 3. Also ended up with a 5,8 pair in both column 4 & 9 rows 1 & 3. Again, I'm fairly new so may have missed something. I discovered it when I got a "looks good to me" and then noticed that my solution was different from Simon's. Thank you so much for the reply!

@grithog5399 Год назад
Column 9 Row 1 cannot be 5 on the entropic line, since there is a 4 (both middle digits). Then, the other end of the line must be low (1).That should resolve it, I think.

This was fun! A bit hard in the beginning, but doable. Normally a 45min Simon leads to 1:30, 2, 3h for me, but I finished just below 60 mins.

Can I jus point about that on the right side of the beetle with the X sum you couldn’t have 46 because then you’ve got two middle digits one after the other

There's a PO Box address in every video description if you scroll down far enough. I entertained the idea of sending them a postcard for a full 10 seconds, saying something along the lines of "Since you asked, yes, it does do something!" But then I remembered I'm lazy and a cheapskate 😂.

At the 12 minute mark, you are wrong about the 4 on the orange line. That would but 1 on the purple line and that would use the number 1,2,3 for the purple line and you would not have any low number for the orange line.

I'm confused about the entropy lines - As soon as Simon got 789 and 123 on R7,C2 and R7,C3, couldn't he immediately assume the digits in R6,C2 and R8,C3 were middle digits? I haven't watched the whole thing yet but confused because I would think that if you didn't do this, those "sets" of 3 would not be low, middle and high. Never mind! Just noticed they don't connect! The two orange lines between the R7,C2 and R7,C3! LOL - SMH
