Nordy here. Thanks again for the feature :) it’s always so fascinating to watch you solve a puzzle. Aside from the small Sudoku detour in the middle (which wasn’t a waste because it made the endgame easier), you actually found an even smoother solve path than I did while testing. I just love that-you think you have something nailed down air tight, and someone comes along with a new idea to shift your whole paradigm. I imagine many setters have had that same experience while watching this channel. Cheers!

So frustrating seeing Simon keep shying away from the 2/4 sandwich row like it was a hot stove when there was a quick easy win there if he'd just look at it for a moment, namely the 1 in box 7 has to go in row 9, because 2/4 needs to be a one-cell sandwich, which would have huge impact on the remaining 1s and 9s in the grid (He got to it eventually but could have had it so much earlier)

That was a huge puzzle. First, I completely misinterpreted the rule for out-of-grid digits, which may have been a translation error. So I had to restart twice because nothing worked. Then I ignored my wrong assumption and was able to solve the puzzle..... albeit very slowly. All in all, I found it absolutely exciting.

First try: After placing the 8 & 9 in c4/b2, I stupidly ruled out those digits on the green line at the bottom of c4, & broke the puzzle about 30' in. Only figured out my mistake after starting over, and finished in 41:48 after restart. So, one blunder & a second-try time only ~11.2% longer than Simon's-I guess I did pretty well! lol

26:54... We have a 1/9 pair in this box... can this other cell also be a 1? No because this round about logic of the outside clue as a pose to the fact we already have a much simpler logic of the fact we have a 1/9 pair set up. 28:36 ... Using the same round about logic to eliminate a 1 from a column that already has a 1/9 pair in it. Gotta love the Rube Goldberg logic for the simplest solutions.

As for this puzzle being 'approachable', I would think those who have done a lot of sandwich puzzles and a few German Whispers would be ok. The rest of us are baffled. We follow your logic completely, and seem to understand every step. But, just like when we were back in school (math/maths), even though we were sure we understood every step the teacher demonstrated, when we got home we didn't even know how to begin! (BTW, my spell checker says that maths is not a word.)

When considering the sandwich in C9, first you asked if the tip of the line could be 1, when there's a 19 pair in the box. The real problem was that you hadn't realised that the 23s on the line had to be different, because the one in the border was the same as R6C8. This ruled out 7 from R5C9. The 8 forced the sandwich to go downwards from R6C9, and had to take two cells, so there was a 19 in the corner. You went to great lengths to show that R6C4 couldn't be a 1, using maths and sandwich logic, but there was a 19 pair in the row. You could be looking at a class action from all the people with flattened noses from continual facepalming. You missed so many things in this, often because of your inability to either use your pencil-marks, or update them after making a deduction. Sometimes, it was just that you didn't really think about what you were doing, for example, when the border clue in R8 was 24, you looked at the 1 pencil-marked in R8C1, but somehow failed to realise it couldn't possibly be the 1. This puzzle really wasn't that hard, but it was very enjoyable.

I got confused to start with because I thought that *all* rows and columns had to have sandwich sums that were single digits, and that broke the puzzle. Then restarting once I understood the rules, it went much better! I took a different route to disambiguating the polarity of the first row - 1 and 9 obviously can't be adjacent to each other, but nor can they be a single digit apart, because that would make them the same polarity. So they must have one high number and one low number between them, with those two numbers adding up to a single-digit total, which has to be 2+7=9, fixing the sum on the left-hand whisper line as "high".

This was a nice puzzle, once I was able to understand the rules. I believe the rules should be re-worded for better clarity, because I was quite confused going into it. It says "each of the ten cells outside the 9x9 grid" without saying which ten cells. It would be clearer if it said "each of the ten cells outside the 9x9 grid that is on a green line." Also, the use of the word "inclusive" threw me; I initially read that to mean that *every* digit from 1 to 9 must be outside the grid. (Which I quickly realized was impossible, since 1 can't be out there) I think it would be clearer if you simply remove the word "inclusive." If these two changes were made to the wording of the rules, I think it would help people avoid the confusion that I experienced trying to solve this. As it is, I had to check the video to see how Simon did it to figure out what I was supposed to be doing, which I generally don't like doing before I've had a chance to take a "crack" at it. :)

Tonight's word of note: "replete." I think of that as the way I feel after a big meal (or a lot of cake 😊) but it can have a more general meaning of simply well-filled with anything, not just food. I love thinking about nice words while watching you solve sudoku. Maybe the next time I solve a puzzle I'll think about which boxes are replete ...

Near 16:00 you look at R1C7 with its pencil marks of 123 and say in can be anything. That cell has a 9 next to it and is part of a row with a sandwich clue, the 1 and 9 can't be next to each other because 0 is not available to sandwich clues. It is really funny that 90 seconds later your brain picked up that detail when it contemplated the sandwich clue.

I don't understand Simon's logic. I've done German whispers before so I know how they work. At the very start Simon says 4 must go in a yellow cell but why can't go in purple? It easily go in the right hand end of the row.

The checker saw an 11x11 grid with a lot of blank squares and a bunch of rows and columns with 2 of the same digit in them. It didn't know that the outer grey part wasn't part of the actual sudoku.

I don’t understand how he knew the sandwich clue on R6 (of the sudoku grid) was a 3 at 33:53 …

Nevermind. It’s forced by the 2 being in box 6, he just did them “backwards” in the video and I paused before seeing the next step :x

I'm having a hard time understanding how any of those outer cells adjacent to the 9×9 grid can be 1 or 9 [they'd have 1 or 9 as the sandwich clue and need 1 or 9 in the sandwich on the grid] I had immediately penciled 19 into the extreme corners because I didn't think they could go adjacent [they'd be saying 1 or 9 and need a 1 or 9 between the 1s and 9s in other words]. How are any of these wht 10 digits going to include a 1 or 9?? I'm confused. This is a sandwich Sudoku, yes?! Lol 😂😮😮😎☕☕

They are never going to be 1, but 9 can be a multi-cell sandwich, even a 3-cell sandwich using 2-3-4

BremSter has this same software on his channel and the checker always works with these variants, Sven has provided an option, it just has to be put in to the checker.

Well, there was the famous Christmas video -- 2020 maybe? -- when Mark put up a video where he got bogged down and didn't solve it. And it was *miserable* to watch. No fun at all. So I'm just as glad they've not put up another non-solve.
