** TODAY'S PUZZLE **
Oddlyeven returns to the channel today with a lovely new ruleset that's simple but deep enough that it leads to some lovely logic. If you get a few minutes of puzzle time to spare, you could do a lot worse than donating it to this sudoku!
Have a go at the puzzle here:
sudokupad.app/uyakkp4064
Rules:
Normal sudoku rules apply. Digits along a line sum to the product of the digits in the squares at either end of the line (NB If it is the same square (eg r8c8) multiply that digit with itself). The sum does not include the digits in the squares. Digits may repeat on a line if permitted by the other rules.
** ISLANDS OF INSIGHT STREAM **
If you'd like to watch last night's Islands Of Insight stream then you can do so here:
ru-vid.comnGgZYUt1zpg
The next stream will be next Tuesday.
** PATREON REWARD DAY **
Yesterday we published a new sudoku hunt, Evening Attractions, themed around Negative Constraints as our March competition.
They'll also be a bonus crossword video from Simon and his solve of Region Geometry by Emre Kolotoğlu (3hr 36min long...!) released over the weekend. And Simon's discussion video about Dean Mayer's Sunday Times crossword from last weekend will appear at 1minute past midnight on Sunday morning (which is the moment that competition has ended.)

How Simon's mind works: "So we've already worked out that this cannot be a 9. So what can it be? 1, 4, 5, 6 or 9. What if it's 9?"

My favorite was one from a couple of years ago where he marked a pair of boxes with 45, then immediately-as in 2 seconds later-wondered "why is there a 45 pair here?" He fretted about it so much he ended up deleting it and backtracking several steps to redo the whole section with different logic.

Thanks for solving my puzzle! I first encountered this ruleset in a puzzle by starwarigami a while back. I had this idea for the break-in and finally got around to turning it into a puzzle. Mathematics aside: (And spoilers) The break-in is related to the secret - Let S be the sum of the digits 1 to N. I won't prove it here, but it can be shown that S = N*(N + 1)/2. Rearranging, we get that N^2 = 2*S - N, which is what is happening on the long line. A similar set up would work for any size grid.

@stephenbeck7222
@stephenbeck7222 4 месяца назад
They could if you had 1 and prime ‘X’ in the squares and a two or three cell sum line that adds to X. Or even a one cell line that is diagonal and in a different box from the square cell with the X. It just worked out in the geometric design of this puzzle there were no such instances.
@zaphodbeeblebrox-fz5fh

That's not true. Small primes are possible, if there is a 1 in one of the squares. But it is true for lines of length at least 4.

I've been solving these puzzle for a few days by occassionally checking the video if I get stuck. On one hand, it feels kinda cheaty to get help from the video, but its been very helpful for learning new methods that then make solving the next puzzle require less video checks. My ability to solve sudoku has gone up dramatically from just process of elimination basics to having tools around set theory. It's been a great learning experience. I appreciate the detailed walk through of your thought process.

I tried this one myself but couldn’t get much further beyond the 9 deduction. I did get the 3 in another way, but it turns out I was just grouping the lines in box 9 a weird way giving me 4 degrees of freedom, not 3. So I decided to just watch Simon’s solve from there. A great accomplishment!

@Raven-Creations
@Raven-Creations 3 месяца назад
@ 24:20 - "Does that do anything else?" - Yes, it does everything. It takes 4 out of the 234s in box 3, forcing 6 in R2C8, and 3 into C9 in box 6. As usual, you place digits without looking what they do, or tidying up pencil-marks. This was a real facepalming moment. @ 27:28 - considering whether R2C2 can be 2 or 3 - Of course they can't! Look to the right. You've got a 23. If it were 2 or 3, the 4-cell line would have to sum to 6. If you work on the line in R2, R2C2 can only be 5 or 8. 8 doesn't work with the 4 in C2, because the column would be 32 + 4 + 8 + 9 +..., therefore it has to be 5 with the digits outside the line summing to 7, which has to be 1+6, with the 6 at the top An interesting rule, but I'm not a fan of maths puzzles like this. It's not that I'm maths averse, it's just that once you've done the maths there isn't much puzzle left.

@virtuous-sloth 4 месяца назад
The only way I can work through these puzzles is to forge ahead until I get stuck, then watch Simon until he shows me some logic I've missed (or shows me a mistake I've made). So at one point I press play to learn, by 23:35, how Simon discovers location of 4 in box 7, then he says "...does that not do anything?...". But at that point I've PencilMark'd *all* of row 9, column 9, and box 9 while Simon, as usual, has eschewed that until absolutely necessary. So I see immediately what the 4 in box 7 does in box 9. Presumably Mark did as well. I do find doing a lot of pencil marking to be noisy like Simon does, but I just cannot keep the invisible possibilities are my fingertips like Simon. That and I make so many unwarranted assumptions which ruin my logic. ;-)

I first thought "The sum does not include the digits in the squares" means you can't repeat the digits in the squares on the line. Of course row 1 and column 1 of this puzzle immediately show that's the wrong interpretation, but if this rule is used in future puzzles it might be good to word it differently.
@pairot01
@pairot01 4 месяца назад
That's not a correct interpretation of the rule. It says the *sum* doesn't include those digits, not the digits on the line.
@nonyobisniss7928
@nonyobisniss7928 4 месяца назад
@@pairot01 It's not the intended interpretation, but it is a perfectly valid interpretation. The sum is the sum of the digits on the line, so if the summation of the digits on the line (i.e. "the sum") doesn't include the digits in the squares that would mean the digits in the squares do not appear elsewhere on the line, at least by this alternative reading of the rules. I read the rules as intended, but I can see how someone could be led astray. Writing rules to be precise yet not overly long is difficult.

@user-zk3vh5wt9w
@user-zk3vh5wt9w 4 месяца назад
It always amazes me how Simon never misinterprets the most ambiguous rules ... in this case the sentence "The sum does not include the digits in the squares" can be interpreted in at least 3 ways, and I took the most logical one, because from the second rule it was already clear that the digits in the squares are not adding up to the sum and interpreted that the sum, for example "15" does not include the digits "5" and "3" and clearly 15 does, so was not valid. Therefore got horribly stuck when encountering that "solution" in the second row ... I want to give Simon the excercise (as a puzzle) to find out, especially for new rules, in how many ways some rules can be interpreted (by normal people 😊) ...

The sum does not include the digits in the squares so does that mean the line shouldn't have any 9 as well right? Or am I misinterpreting something?

I'm not sure how you reached that conclusion, but it's not correct. E.g. a line could be [3]294[5]. The digits in the end boxes multiply to give 15, and the digits on the line in-between also sum to 15, and include a 9. (Also, one of the first digits Simon gets is a 9 on a line, in r1c1 at 10:35.)

Can someone explain the history/story of 3 in the corner to me? Watched quite some puzzles but always feel like I am missing something.

Started watching a few months back so don't know the full story, but Simon always sings a couple of lines from "REM - Losing my religion", changing a line from "that's me in the corner" to "that's three in the corner". I guess he just really likes the song

Also the sums on a line can never be prime numbers above 9

Daylight saving should be banned, it servers no purpose in the modern world imo.

The main argument is just to provide a smidge of consistency for the amount of daylight surrounding school in the winter vs the late spring/early fall (eg minimizing the amount of darkness that kids are in while getting on or off at bus stops). It would be too much work I suppose to adjust school start times throughout the year so instead we just make the whole population change their clocks.

Why is the modern world different with respect to daylight saving? What has changed that makes it no longer relevant?

We need to get rid of "regular" time and just stay on "daylight savings time" year round.
