How to Solve a Star Battle Puzzle

[@VICTORdoomm]

I love playing sudoku and now I'm going to start loving to play Star puzzles

[@craigjohnson224]

I really like this branching out into new kinds of puzzles. You just made this channel 67 times better.

[@violetrosenzweig]

The first time I ever saw a star puzzle was in a competitive programming class, and we were discussing how we could automatically solve them. It's nice to see how the logic of real life pencil in hand approaches relate to computer science solutions.

[@Robertlavigne1]

So much Fleb-y goodness lately!!! I'm going to have to quit my job to keep up with all these new puzzle types. Just blew 2 hours doing a dozen of these. Fun puzzle variant!!

[@donnypassary5798]

YESSSS!!! Been solving USPC for quite some times. This one was always a total skip for me since there always seems to be too much cases for the star's position to check. Thank you so much for the guide!

[@klayworldsniper]

YO FLEB. Just wanted to say thank you for your puzzles. Solved 2 rope/ring puzzles in an escape room using the techniques from your videos in a couple minutes. Really saved us time.

[@Faithra]

This is some top fleb, I'll definitely check out more of these types of puzzles! Seems similar to nonagrams/picross games in how you figure out where everything goes. Thanks for the video Fleb!

[@MrGodotIsHere]

I had never heard of these types of puzzles, and I lost my whole evening to them! Great suggestion, Fleb!

[@glmathgrant]

You solved MY puzzle? *blushes*

[@FLEBpuzzles]

Oh hey! I'm a huge fan of your puzzles! And "Cross the Streams" is one of my favorite types!

[@DoonTheFox]

This is a wonderful puzzle!! I can't wait to try them out myself :D

[@glmathgrant]

Memes Are KEEM Furry, actually.

[@theresiasiahaan7467]

Grant Fikes OH MY GOD A *SMART* FURRY? Woah, coolcool

[@1337treats]

I've never seen Star puzzles and I enjoyed the pace of this video.

[@knormie]

Thanks for the introduction to this type of puzzle. We've done many over the past 2 days. Your channel update has me excited to learn about other types of puzzles.

[@axiom413]

I really enjoy logic puzzles like this, but I'd never seen a Star Battle. I'm definitely going to go try some for myself. Thanks for the intro, Fleb!

[@MagicMeltdown]

I've never seen star battle puzzles before, I'll have to try them out myself since they're so similar to sudoku. Thanks for the video!

[@AngrySanta]

You have introduced me to a whole new logic puzzle. I do quite well on 1 star battles but the 2 star battles are quite tricky.

[@TaterTots620]

I love how you explain this puzzle as you complete it. Awesome video!!

[@Theobromiine]

Your walk-through of this puzzle was incredible. Thank you!

[@spydrebyte]

Minesweeper meets Sudoku

[@geminifourthmommy]

OMG!!! Exactly what I was thinking

[@Blizzhobbs]

yep same thing i was gonna say

[@Kilvoctu]

As a Sudoku fan, thanks for introducing me to Star Battle puzzles. These look quite fun

[@BrightSage]

Hey FLEB, I really like this video, and others similar. It's really interesting to see the logic and process behind solving these puzzles.

[@thechocolatefactory]

whoa. never heard of star battle puzzles before. I like nonograms + bridges + other logic puzzles, so this is something i can totally get into.

[@annapejskova9290]

Try Simon Tatham's puzzle collection! There are plenty of this type of games/puzzles! www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/puzzles/

[@ChrisWEarly]

Always enjoyed sudoku so I'll look for these. Happy puzzling 😊

[@tigeryoung5622]

Fleb I'm really liking these new types of videos logic puzzles are my favorite. Just wondering, where did the name fleb come from?

[@seanthebluesheep]

This was very interesting. How long did it take you to do this your first time, and how long do you think it might take a novice puzzler?

[@emuwarrior13]

Loving the frequent uploads!

[@gilbertserrano485]

Glad you introduced me to these i love logic puzzles so much so that im doing this at 2 in the morning lol thanks Fleb

[@damianandreani3362]

Can you make a follow-up video on how to create your own puzzles? I have been looking for algorithms and/or general rules to create one myself, but can't seem to find anything

[@l0rdbulb]

What is the pencil you use for solving your puzzles?

[@CristopherElie]

This has a lot of thematic similarities to one of my favorite puzzle games, Hexcells! A lot of the same sorts of deduction based on where markers can and can't be.

[@squadxzo]

You said that the next video is going to need this I can only guess it's a sudoku cross star battle which are really fun to solve. Also a suggestion for a logic puzzle for you to cover cross sums or kakuro.

[@DoonTheFox]

This is a super cool puzzle!! It's a really refreshing spin off from Sudoku, besides being a fun exercise in logic :D

[@ArtemGlue]

Looks fun, reminds me of Sudoku and Picross

[@katarzynaw4664]

Never heard of them but this is the kind of puzzles I'm looking for! ;)

[@ryantrue9372]

FLEB, I'm almost shocked. I was sure you would be left handed!

[@articerile]

Ah, so it's kind of like a nonogram in some of the deduction factors. Star battles look like a lot of fun, I'll be sure to look some up!

[@tetsuyakenshi]

Awesome and "easy" to understand

[@doranchak]

Dammit, Fleb; now I'm hooked on these puzzles. GEE THANKS I went through a Shinro phase which turned into playshinro.com. Have you ever come across Shinro puzzles?

[@elsaqueen8872]

Can you show us how to solve the next puzzle hunt puzzle about the battleship and cave? Please.

[@Daniel-ew9gx]

I've never felt so...Not smart? lol Very impressive Fleb!

[@iminlalaland4ever]

This looks really fun!

[@Mister.Psychology]

Is there a video game version of this? I want to try it but I don't want to print it out.

[@GavinFolgert]

FLEB, you're awesome.

[@SnowTerebi]

I've used to solve some sudoku so I decided to try it myself first without learning the strategies. Wish me luck!

[@SnowTerebi]

Annnnd, solved it. I actually didn't figure out the "sub-region" strategy you used in the video, guess this is an easy one. I was only using the existing rules, instead of looking for "hidden" rules like those sub-regions.

[@chinkeehaw9527]

5:42 FLEB why don't you just draw 2 stars in the third column?

[@doongi2001]

absolutely incredible

[@trdi]

This is the first time I've seen a puzzle like this. Took me 15 minutes and 5 seconds. ALMOST Grandmaster level from what I see...

[@lildmckay]

What is the grand master time?

[@trdi]

You can check times for every puzzle on the website that's linked. I've tried 5 or 6 more puzzes, and haven't got any of the 3 listed times. I got close with one of them. The times look to me REALLY hard to achieve.

[@mpbaird]

What are the grandmaster and so on solve times?

[@petrescuework-difficultcas6581]

This looks fun and interesting

[@linkinprk1981]

A great app with puzzles like this is Treasure Maps. It's a Hokey pirate theme, but very fun with super simple to super hard puzzles

[@deshtom]

There's a fun and free app called Genius Puzzles that has a lot of different logic puzzles in it that this style of puzzle reminded me of. It has classics like Sudoku, Minesweeper, and KenKen, but it also has some very unique ones as well. It doesn't seem very well known either, so it would be cool if you made a video about it. #notsponsored

[@Noor-bi5do]

wow amazing puzzle it really makes the brain work

[@r989jan4]

I like you videos and the puzzles

[@doutavares____8311]

Celbit?

[@ThatKrazyTimGuy]

Haven't seen this type before. Gonna start working these in instead of sudoku, getting bored lol

[@puzzlemeajigsaw1154]

This is amazing! Thanks. 👍

[@gcwrestling888]

FLEBBBBB!!!!!! FLEB FLEB FLEB FLEB!!!! YOU ARE A GENIUS!!!!!

[@cassidyferdinand6435]

They have gave us this puzzle worth 5 % of our course in grade 12, twas fun.

[@87arranprestwich]

Dem pen handling skillz

[@ianweis3108]

Masterful!

[@blinddirector]

Does someone own this genre of puzzle? Is there an app? Should I make one?

[@joshybratwurst1398]

The feels when you already know how to solve the puzzle

[@hypenheimer]

6:49 He made a mistake. Guess he just got lucky that he didn't get stuck there.

[@franzjosephliszt1555]

where was the mistake?

[@greg4527]

Hey Fleb. Do you allow companies to sponsor your videos? Thanks.

[@SoulSukkur]

I paused the video an 1:44 so i could solve it. I ended up making a critical false assumption and had to restart (even though, in retrospect, I only had to erase 1 or 2 things,) but I made it there in the end. I didn't bother timing myself. that'd only rain on my parade

[@Spamhard]

Okay my problem is how to solve one star puzzles. I've recently started an app and ironically I'm finding the 1 star smaller ones harder because there seems like less process of elimination. I can't wrap my head around how to solve them when there's several options for spaces... ...

[@barrymore87]

Where has Fleb gone?

[@unclvinny]

Fun!

[@unclvinny]

Whew, even the easy puzzles are tricky at first.

[@anthonyp2024]

This almost feels like reverse minesweeper

[@sing55out]

フレッブ、頭がいいだけではなく、鉛筆回しもできるんやね。

[@tabaks]

sing55out, no! Really?

[@thelbmethod7956]

They had to call it star battle since Star Wars is already taken

[@indianfyre]

third-st

[@rosefeltch6313]

Awesome

[@Pezmage1]

Manapate holy crap your icon is the worst lol

[@SuperShaq007]

[@warcatbattalion]

[@anbietm4617]

Stardoku

[@want-diversecontent3887]

This is a puzzle. When does the second fly fly? What is the third factor of ordinal times four? With a w And plus, not one. What is the fifth prime number minus the ordinal, in this question then the previous one. Pieces. [no letter] Add the subject version of me. (1) +IAN What is its topping?

[@chancewilliams97]

Raffy Tabingo I give up please explain
