Thanks for the Plumbing self-deprecation, makes me feel better about myself as someone who is still pretty hopeless at variant Sudoku, but a bit of a Jack-of-all-trades for round-the-house DIY. Maybe it would help if you thought about how the pump has to be orthogonally connected to the rest of the pipe?

I want to thank this channel for helping me learn to think in ways outside the box. A few days ago i asked for help to set a puzzle, i got no answers but i felt a nudge of inspiration from the infinity puzzle and went for it. I want to make a little book of 10, 6x6 puzzles that celebrate the variants ive learnt. Starting with a nice sandwich. There is no more of a thrill than clicking the check and it tells you you created a unique solution. 🎉 Thank you all

13:54 Things you haven't noted... Reminder that R6C2 is a 2... Because R6C4 is a 1 and sees one less border than it in the easterly direction. R9C3 is in a different region from orange. R6C1 currently sees 6 cells. So it is from [678] (can't be 9 or it would see R9C2) R9C1 is one less than that, so it is from [567] and R7C1 sees one less than that and is from [456] There is always a 6 in one of them R5C3 is at least a 3 and at most a 4. Since blue already has a 2 in it, R7C3 is not blue. You can add a border between blue and R7C3. This new region must turn after one easterly move, or else the 2 in the circle will break. R6C4 is part of this new region. Where is the digit 1 in blue? Blue is currently 7 cells large so it cannot grow past column 4 to take a 1 from column 5. In blue, the digit 1 is in column 1. Row 5 or row 4. R5C1 is definitely part of blue. 67C1 now sees 7 cells and is from [78], R9C1 is from [67] and R7C1 is from [56], there is now definitely a 7 in one of those cells.

18:59 How many orange borders does R5C5 see? At least one. IF it itself is orange. But if R5C5 is orange, it can't be a 1 because orange already has a 1 in it. And so it would see two borders but in actuality, if it's orange, it will only ever see one. Since it isn't orange, it will see two borders. One changing into orange and one changing into whatever color you will pick for the region in R9C3, which isn't orange and has to get out past orange. R5C5 is a 2, R4C5 is a 3. R5C5 is not green, blue, orange or R9C3 colored. It is a new region. Green cannot take R7C5 or or R6C5 or the border count breaks for R5C5. (and besides, circle logic already tells us that green turns up into R6C4) And green must go into R5C4 as well. Now R5C5, in the westerly direction, sees green and blue. All its borders are accounted for. Both of R5C2 and R5C3 can't be blue. One of them has to be green. And you can't skip over blue if blue took R5C3 and make R5C2 green, there would be 4 borders then. R5C3 is green, R5C2 is blue. (again, it can't be a new region, there would be too many borders) R5C1 is a 1 because of this. R5C2 is a 3. R5C3 is a 4. EDIT: HMM, I must have missed something really strange. At 22:54 I really can't see how the 2 in R5C5 will be satisfied if not all cells in R5C2 to R5C4 are one color. But the only colors that can appear below R5C5 is orange and purple. Green can't go there. Green needs to take R5C4... OOOOOH RIIIIGHT, all of R5C2 to R5C4 are green. DUH on me. I somehow got locked onto the idea that blue and green had to meet halfway. But the only thing that matters is that only blue and green appear west of R5C5. Also, i am doing this "pre-solving" all in my head without pencil marks. I don't solve the puzzles beforehand either. I am solving as i watch the video, and the [34] pair wasn't immediately obvious to me.

I got about halfway through, then got horribly stuck. Started watching Simon's solve, and then realized "DO BASIC IRREGULAR SUDOKU, YOU PUTZ". 😅 Was finally able to finish in 54:39 (conflict checker off), but really should have noticed some obvious things earlier than I did... oh well! Many thanks to Chilly for a very cool puzzle!

9:03 It's funny that this is going to be obvious to you. But i think you are slow. Could R7C3 be a 1? How big would its region be if it was a 1... It would be a 1 cell region because it cannot connect orthogonally anywhere without seeing more than one cell in its region. R7C3 is a 2, there are therefore 2 region borders to the west and south of it. And thus, the region of R7C3 will grow ONE cell either to the north or to the east and then make a turn. There WILL be a different region in either R6C3 or R7C4, which one it is will probably become evident as the fog clears.

Wondering if deleting the 9 prematurely in r2c2 is going to cause a problem.

I thought that *chaos construction* meant 11x11 grid with nine 3x3 boxes placed by the solver. Is that used for any shapes whenever their shape or position needs to be determined by the solver?

Yes, I think so. I believe there has been at least one other video with a 9x9 grid called 'chaos construction.'

I believe those 11x11 puzzles are often named "deconstruction" puzzles. Yes, chaos construction tends to mean it's part of the puzzle to locate the (irregular) regions yourself.

44:00 With the 8 in red the only place for 8 in column 6 is in row 7, placing 7s next to and above it, completing the column with a 4 in red, so red can't go to the top of column 9. That fact shows quickly how the regions finish.

I think that you might need to direct this question to Sven (the creator of the software). I am not sure he reads all of the comments on all of the videos that use his software, so using the contact info available in his software would be a good way to reach him, I think.

not exactly the best of solves for Simon. He missed a lot of easy things and some of his markings where bad, not wrong just bad. He ignored the circle rule a lot.

It's a little misleading I think to claim "each row, column and region contains the digits 1-9 exactly once each" and then claim "borders obstruct vision. The latter claim seems to, in a sense, overpower the initial statement, and you'd therefore be allowed digits to repeat in a row or column for instance if there is a border that blocks the vision between at least one other cell. Perhaps I'm deeping it a bit. I don't know, it seems a little ambiguous, counterintuitive or poorly phrased.

The "borders obstruct vision" bit is only relevant to the circle clues, since they count how many cells are *seen* north/south, east/west. Whether you can see past a wall or not has no impact on the statement that each row, column, region contains the digits 1-9. That can be true whether the digits "see" one another or not.

I can't speak for the other 609,999 subscribers to this channel, but I don't mind fog of war puzzles, and even if I did, I don't expect a channel with well over half a million viewers to cater solely to my personal tastes. _And_ even if I did, I'd be polite about it. But you do you. I don't think you realise how lucky we are to get this standard of content multiple times every single day.

I've still no idea who it is you think you're blocking the video from? If it's yourself, isn't that just the same as choosing not to watch it? If that's the case, I must have blocked tens of thousands of videos by now. I didn't feel the need to tell them though. Fog of War videos are going to continue to be featured because (a) Simon clearly loves doing them, and (b) a large number of CtC subscribers clearly enjoy watching them.

I must say, this kind of comment is very irritating to me. Why comment on this here? Just don't watch the video. There is no value to yourself or to the rest of this viewing community for you to repeatedly comment that you don't like fog puzzles. So very many of us do, clearly Simon does, he has fun solving them. They are actually good learning tools for variant sudoku because they limit the distractions from the next step that is necessary to think about ... and so you don't like them, no need to tell us. that.

30:32 But wait, red indicates region borders.... Don't those other ones in row five HAVE to be green? to prevent any additional region border changes? This looks like quite the tricky puzzle. Easy to make assumptions on stuff not looping back on itself or what have you.
