Flawed Emerald: Not a flawed Sudoku though

[@anaayoung9142]

11:54. A German Whispers that made me think but not to much, I enjoy it a lot!

41:44 (Yeah, I'm slow and careful lol) Thanks for the break-in Good seeing that lol

[@buzzard6410]

That break-in was brutal.

[@SudokuSleuth]

Took a while to spot!

[@mrpokefan8369]

20 minutes here, very nice puzzle, thanks Sleuth!

[@Pwecko]

[@chrisbrogan3307]

Great puzzle

[@toddblanchard7765]

Outstanding fun. Thank you!

[@SudokuSleuth]

Glad you enjoyed it!

19:12, love a good whispers puzzle

I appreciated Sleuth''s insight as to where the low digits were on the German Whisper "diamond". Actually, the "diamond" looked like a baseball diamond to me. Maybe that''s what makes the Emerald ""flawed" - that it's both an emerald and a diamond?

Rapido 25 and 18! Arriba! Arriba!!! Andale! Andale!!! Senor, we no in Kansas no more. :)

You say slower on your part, yet you are still 5 minutes faster than me despite missing the easy win in column 5 around the middle of your solve that probably would have shaved another 4 or 5 minutes off...

I think the title of the video is meant to be flawed emerald: not a flawed sudoku though

[@SudokuSleuth]

That’s the one!

I completely missed using row 5 to get polarity. Instead, after pencil marking box 8 I saw that R6 C3,6,7 were all the same polarity and all on Kropki dots.

[@SudokuSleuth]

Nice spot!

[@brindlereo5972]

Break-in for me was to realize that R5C1 and R5C9 could not be high as one would need to be a 6.

19:13 after 2 false starts

[@psiphiorg]

Nice puzzle, with a good break-in. My time today was 11:37, solver number 510.

[@jonbrowne]

18:41 to solve. Highly enjoyable puzzle and a good challenge for sudoku after the German whispers are deciphered.

[@annkiitgoel5648]

8 mins... could have done faster

[@mscha]

I learned something new today: “German Whisper cells are obviously 1, 2, 4, 8; or 3, 6”. 🤔

[@YairAlonCabala]

@@mscha why is that? Can't it be two and seven? Four and nine? I mean. Seven and nine can be in the whisper

[@mscha]

@@YairAlonCabala That's what I thought until Sleuth told us this at 3:18 in the video. 🙃
