Hi Olli, loved the puzzle (even though I mainly had to wrestle with my own faults marking some cells wrongly). Love the idea of famous album covers. Got so many ideas immediately.

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="1350">22:30</a> Simon: *highlights all nines so it can clearly be seen that the last three nines can be placed via sudoku* Also Simon: *solves the position of the nines in a way more complicated way without using sudoku* That was my favourite part! 😂 And to be honest, I solved it by using sudoku and 'my way' wasn't nearly as graceful. I explicitly came back to watch this sudoku be solved 'the Simon way' after solving it myself :) The essence of this puzzle became more clear in this video. Such a fun puzzle!

A good cheesesteak sandwich uses good, thinly sliced steak and good cheese, not some amorphous cheese sauce. I hope you had one of the good ones. It almost makes up for the trip home. My parents lived in Philly as newlyweds and my mom bemoaned the loss of her daily cheesesteak for more than 50 years.

I would hope it was a good one! He was in Philly when he had the Philly. Making a bad sandwich is not an option if you want to stay in business.

Thanks for highlighting such a cool puzzle! I wonder if Simon ever checks the solve counter after he posts his solves? This puzzle has over 5800 solves now the day after Simon solved it. I don't normally attempt to solve the puzzles Simon posts, but seeing as my last name is Nine, I had to try this puzzle. 😁 I'm glad I did! I finished and had a fun time!

I finished in <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="1535">25:35</a> minutes. This was such a clean sudoku. I really liked the simplicity of the grid and the rules. It created a very fun solve. I particularly enjoyed solving box 9. The ending was very difficult to see, but I can proudly say that I didn't resort to bifurcation and was able to do it all in my head. I mentally calculated if r7c9 could be a 6 and it was impossible as it led to no place for 7 in box 9. That was so satisfying to do. If I bifurcated at the end, I would have beat Simon's time. However, there's no fun in that. Great Puzzle!

How apt that the White Album includes the songs ‘Birthday’ (that would make the birthday announcements interesting! 🤣😜) and ‘Helter Skelter’ (though this puzzle less so than the previous ones Simon has featured). Great setting to only use the 9s as clues yet still produce a smooth solve path.

I took a bit longer than you, Simon, but I really enjoyed solving that one. I do have a request. Please could you delete the colours (and/or lines, circles and crosses) after you no longer need them in your solves. I find that they clutter the grid and make things much harder to follow. I found your solve of the recent fog-of-war puzzle very difficult to follow for that very reason. Thanks.

Excellent construction but for some reason I needed to bifurcate to disambiguate the colours at the beginning, after placing 1s, 2s and the shaded 3. Luckily, I syarted by exploring the wrong prong of the fork, and I was able to prove it was wrong.

The (current) last puzzle on the line pack.....the hints could be better. I reached many conclusions that impressed myself big time, then I got stuck and used help, but the help reaches conclusions without explaining why. So I did bifurcation to prove it. It took me like 2 hours. I would love to know why the line in box 9 has to be 15. You said it was 15, but never said why. At that point I said it could have been 12.
