100 Men Vs 1 Gorilla: Sudoku Expert's View

*** MAY SUDOKU HUNT COMPETITION JUST OUT *** Our new competition launched on 1 May. It's a sudoku hunt from Blobz called Oil and Water. The prize this month is a chance to make a sudoku video with Simon that will appear on the channel! Check it out for as little as $2/month here: https://www.patreon.com/crackingthecryptic *** TODAY'S PUZZLE *** It's ChinStrap's birthday so we're attempting his Compression Algorithm sudoku - a squishdoku puzzle that's quite difficult to scan!! At no point during this video does Simon categorically reveal the answer to the '100 Men vs 1 Gorilla' question... Sorry. Play the puzzle at the links below: https://sudokupad.app/ce8o5jwu3i Rules: Squishdoku: Place the digits 1 through 9 once each in every 3x3 box, with no repeats in any row or column. Cells on region borders (dashed lines) are simultaneously part of the 3x3 boxes on both sides of the line. Index Lines: The digit in the Nth cell along a teal line (starting from the diamond) indicates the position along the line where the digit N appears. For example, if a diamond cell contains a 3, the third cell along that line must have a 1. *** MONDAY'S BLUE PRINCE STREAM *** You can (re)watch last week's stream here: https://youtube.com/live/7nnEDxVyvc0?feature=share *** NEW FOG APP IS OUT ON APPLE (!), STEAM & ANDROID *** Brand new incredible Fog Sudoku puzzles by the likes of Phistomefel, Marty Sears, James Sinclair, Qodec, Dorlir, ThePedallingPianist, Sandra&Nala, Peter Veenis, Mr Menace, Florian Wortmann, Math Pesto & HalfBakedLunatic. https://store.steampowered.com/app/3165770/Cracking_the_Cryptic__Fog_of_War_1/ *** CRACKING THE CRYPTIC APP *** Our main app (which is itself completely free) contains packs featuring Fog, Domino, Lines, and GAS puzzles, with a few special free sets as well!
