And that is the genius of Simon. Even when it's not obvious and he has to think for a few minutes he still has that hunch and zones in on where the focus needs to be immediately. I have literally seen him concoct new logic on the spot as needed.

Same, I needed the little nudge at the beginning. But I finished faster because it was really easy to see the circles with 2 and 1 in them. As soon as you see there are boxes with more than 3 circles, it was helping a lot.

OddlyEven, Happy Birthday! 🎂 I do love to see the circles rule used with this much panache. Fantastic puzzle. I've always thought that it's very hard to make a circle-counting fog puzzle, because it's usually hard to deduce much until you know how many circles there are. This puzzle shows that it can in fact be done! Really fun sense of discovery in this, exactly what the best fog puzzles should be like. And I was hoping all the way through that there would be a 1 in a circle at the end to disambiguate, and you didn't disappoint. Thanks for a brilliant creation, and hope you are having a lovely day

I've learned so much from this channel, and solving this puzzle without help is a perfect example!! Just in getting the first digit, which involved proving limits and constraints on available digits on the dual lines because when dividing the lowest triangular sum by the number of arrow circles, along with the constraint of a visible square with no circles ... and, well, just suffice it to say there is no possible way I could have perceived the logic independently without having watched you and Mark for dozens and dozens of solves before now. My point is you've grown my logic muscle, and that's a freakin' cool thing.

Happy Birthday, Oddlyeven, and thanks for this wonderful puzzle that you created! And Simon, I loved watching you solve of that. One of the things I appreciate about your videos is how thorough you are in proving things and explaining things. I jumped to some conclusions while watching you that you did get to eventually, but there were also some things that, had I been solving instead of watching, I would have gotten wrong because of not being careful enough in my thinking. Thanks for this - very enjoyable.

Solved it in 34:41, coincidentally the runtime length of the video. That was a fun twist on counting circles. Normally you just count the circles at the start and that gives you almost all the information of what digits go into them. With the inclusion of fog you can't do that.

Happy Birthday to Oddlyeven. 1:04:28 for me, but I goofed a couple of times. And was stymied by the break-in as I couldn't figure out how the hell the two first circles were possible. (A 4 cell arrow never crossed my mind). Anyway, I backed up on the goofs and sorted out so I got the proper logic without resorting to knowledge given by the goofs. Really a lovely puzzle. And one thing I especially like with foggies is that you do get a limited path to follow and figure out, and you do get some immediate indications of errors (which kind of is needed for me) so you do note have to back from an almost solved puzzle that breaks all the way to the beginning.

32:51 I'm a little bummed that's how he found the 2 in a circle. Several minutes before, he could have wondered about the fourth circles in boxes 2 and 3 and wondered what they could be. They had to be very small and he could have rather quickly determined it was two 2 circles and one 1 circle without relying on much sudoku. Oh well. This works too :)

Philosophical question: How do you feel when you make mistaskes in a fogged sudoku? I somehow feel worse about making a mistake when the fog doesn't clear, and I immediately know that that was wrong, then how I feel when I discover something isn't right and I have to backtrack. Maybe it's that I didn't discover the mistake myself, the fog told me, it doesn't feel like I've earned it in the same way. Consequences are also almost nonexistent, no backtracking, no wondering what was wrong, just have to think about why it was wrong. PS. I put in two wrong digits in this fog, can you guess the first?

This puzzle was just brilliant. Most fun I've had in ages. I took what I thought was an extremely linear solve path that sort of unfolded naturally from one clue to the next as each was revealed from the fog. But then Simon goes and does stuff on the other side of the grid that revealed stuff I didn't get to until the end of the damn thing. Simon must have been wondering the point of that circled 1, given his solve path. But that circled 2 was the very last fog cell I revealed, so I had an enjoyable conundrum in box 3 over whether that was a circled 1 or 2, which Simon didn't have to consider. Bit of a shame, that.

I'm stuck right at the start. The only way out I can think of is to have a single cell with two circles, to count a digit twice. Otherwise, the circle in block 1 and the circle attached to the arrow in block 7 must add to at least 15 but not contain a 9. They must be 78. 8 must be circled in every block except block 7. This means that block 1's circle must be 8, and the hidden circle in block 4 attached to the arrow in block 7 must be 7. But placing 7 doesn't clear the fog. Okay, I thought of a way out. Block 1's circle is still 8, and block 4's circle is also 8, with a 1 where I thought the 7 should be. (The circles now add to 16.) (A minute later...) Hah! That did it! (Much later...) I finished the puzzle. Now, on to the video.

9:23 Can someone explain why it couldn't be a 6. I don't understand.

If the two green cells in box 1 add to 6, the three green cells in box 7 would add to at least 9, since the 5 green cells add to at least 15. That would put 9 in a circle in R6C1, but there can't be 9 circled 9s in the puzzle, since there isn't one in box 7. Hope that helps.

I don't quite understand why at 9:12 Simon says if the top left circle is a 6 then there must be a 9 circled somewhere. Can anyone explain that? I understand 9s can't be in a circle, but why does the 6 in a circle force that logic that a 9 would be circled?
@egglamation
@egglamation 6 ай бұрын
I read the replies, wow that was actually quite difficult to discern especially for the impossibility of 7 in that top left circle (leaving the 8's needing to be in a circle for box 4 based off the bottom 3 green cells needing to equal to 8). Terrific deduction, no chance I was getting that on my own!

the solution for this sudoku is not unique, or am i wrong? I ended up with three 6/7 pairs in box 3,6 and 9, which could fit both ways...
