You know, I've watched so many of your videos and I'm constantly yelling at the screen. And about 70% of the time it turns out I'm wrong about whatever it is. I think the point is that most people who watch wish they were peering over your shoulder, involved in the action. That's why we're all yelling at the screen. You are great at doing these puzzles. Thank you for bringing the party.

I try to solve the puzzle before I watch the solve, which gives me even more reason to shout obscenities at Simon, conveniently ignoring the fact that he will finish the whole thing at least twice as quickly as I could ever manage. It really annoys me when he uses a ridiculously convoluted logic train to prove a digit which sudoku could have solved for anyone who can simply scan or read their own pencil marks, but it annoys me more that he still beats my time, every time, without fail. The most annoying thing, though, is when he pencil marks all the digits which a square can be according to one of the rules, while not considering any of the other rules, then just moves on to something completely different. Eventually he'll triumphantly announce, "And that's not a [x] now!", when I've spent 15 minutes screaming "How can that ever be a f^%k!ng [x]?!?".
@aronlide

Aspartagcus here. :) Thanks for giving my puzzle a go! The reason it took so long is because I'm stubborn and sometimes won't add any extra constraints or rules to make it work, so it was quite restrictive in terms of setting this one. But I managed in the end. It is a bit tricky to solve fillomino on a normal sudoku grid with the fully drawn edges, which is why I made a version with dashed edges (as you can see in the example). Otherwise I suggest using the setting in SudokuPad for dashed edges. I used both edges and lines for keeping track of the regions when solving. :)
@aronlide
@aronlide 2 месяца назад
Ahh.. At 39:37 Simon makes a faulty assumption, missing that that region could grow up into R3C2. Easy to miss, happens to the best of us, but lucky that it was a correct digit at least. :P

I think the rules need clarifying as I attempted this thinking that because each region has to have one circle, every number 1 had to be in its own circle
@MateiGall
@MateiGall 2 месяца назад
At 39:45 the 2 in r4c3 is not forced like that, because the region can go up and grow (with 5 or higher in the circles). You must count the remaining cells in rows 123 and that's how you see it's not enough space for the regions if r4c3 is minimum 5.

"as his mouse is right on the 5 that resolves the 5s and 7s" ... and seconds later on a 7 that resolves the 5s and 7s the other way. Simon never ceases to amaze in how he can find the most convoluted complex and seemingly backwards ways of resolving something while being completely blind to sudoku in front of him, sudoku so obvious even I've seen it.
@pumpkin_8681

Time and time again I think that Simon's solving style can be summerised in the phrase, "in conducting brilliance one often misses the blindingly obvious". If searching for speed you would perhaps benifit from a background pleb that misses the brilliance in light of the blindingly obvious. As you are not searching for speed i'll simply say it takes all minds to make a beautiful world. Thanks for the making the world more beautiful with your touch of obvious missing brilliance.

I could follow all the logic Simon applied, except at 39:47 when Simon said that the region in block 4 must be of size 2 because it is completely tapped in. At that stage, I don't see what prevent the region to be of size 5 and grow into block 1 through R3C2.

For filomino puzzles (even sudoku kind) I've learned to use single central pencilmark as "at least this but maybe more". Since there is no reason to use single pencilmark in normal sudoku, I can quite easily always interpret it correctly :)

@chuckdecker3765 2 месяца назад
He makes the same mistake at 17:59, forgetting that the circle could go up to get its 5 without boxing in the 3 he's bifurcated (the 3 can then just go south 3). Now, that doesn't actually work because it boxes in the 24 pairs, but, Simon didn't get the logic that far, he just stopped where he was wrong. Another lucky solve. I think Simon needs a vacation, a real one where he doesn't try to solve on his laptop while he's on holiday lol

1:53:52 - Another brilliant puzzle but not that easy. I did use the checker en route a few times to check my logic as I’m not as good as Mark or Simon at picking up where I went wrong, but I always make sure I’m finding the logic correctly before entering the digits. The region starting at R3C9 was the one that stumped me for so long. It turned out to be about the last bit of region logic to resolve! Really enjoyed it though.

I think I’ve watched too many Cunk on Earth clips. This puzzle title makes me want a puzzle called Filomina Cunk. 😂

At 1:05:27 Row 1 column 7 has to be the same as Row 9 column 8, which would resolve all the 5s & 7s

Why does it have to be the same as r9c8? If r1c7 was a 5 it could be the same as r8c9 (the 5 in box 9), no?

Doesn't the software allow a range to be entered, so you can do something like 4-9 rather than 456789?

It does if you turn on "compact pencilmarks" in settings. Simon tried it for all of five minutes when it first became an option, but decided he didn't like it that way, so turned it off again. I have it turned on and think it's great.

@@RichSmith77 Agreed. I usually turn it on for a puzzle like this when I find it helpful to list a lot of candidates.

Kind request… please try not to use black lines to delineate regions in a grid that already contains black lines that delineate regions (e.g. regular sudoku) 😊

Fun puzzle but I didn't understand why the circle at R4C3 can be the same was the circle in R3C2? 🤔 Anyway thanks for the fun solve! 😊 Edit: Nevermind, someone explained in the comments 😅

Did you see the nominations for puzzle of the year came out? I'm not suprised Fillomino Sudoku has so many nominations. It's a truly amazing puzzle. Terrible, awkward, cringe-inducing dialogue. Flat, boring cinematography, no story to be invested in at all. Plus, a boring lifeless character that we all end up hating at the end. It's also really long. I would say it feels almost twice it's length. But did you know that it took 12 years to make? Nothing has ever taken 12 years to make. With all this hype, I just don't see how -Boyhood could fail to win best picture at the Ocars- Fillomino Sudoku could fail to win -best picture at the Oscars- the best puzzle award.

@aronlide Hey great puzzle, seriously. I just can't hear the phrase "x took y years to make" without remembering drunken Midwesterns complaining about boyhood.
