Earth, Wind and Fire Speed Run

(Eingestellt am 16. Februar 2024, 17:01 Uhr von Will Power)

Normal Sudoku rules apply. Numbers in dashed regions are either POWERS OF TWO (1,2,4,8 : EARTH), MULTIPLES OF THREE (3, 6, 9 : WIND), or NEITHER (5, 7 : FIRE). Regions each only contain one of these three elements. All orthogonal neighbors of the same element are in the same region (regions of the same element are not adjacent). The solver must determine which regions are which element. KROPKI PAIRS- Numbers with a white dot between them are consecutive. Not all possible dots are given. Leave a comment, with your time, in the Logic Masters Germany website for this puzzle. Bonus for less than 15 minutes. Double bonus for less than 10 minutes.

13:19 But right in the middle of the solve, my beautiful wife delivered a delicious breakfast, so my attention was divided. Still, didn't expect to earn the bonus, so I'm really happy with that. Enjoyable puzzle. Thank you.

Very nice! One of my first solves of variant sudokus, I must admit it's quite fun. 12:46 for me, I still have to get much faster at spotting obvious clues!

23:36 woah, pretty bad compared to the others :-D but at least it was solved below the hour mark ;-)

Loved how the elements interacted with eachother. I think it's really approachable also for aboslute beginners like myself. For us n00bs it's just harder to spot where to turn to next :-D

Such a fun one!
I coloured and put in pencil markings and the Kropki dots allowed me to 'break in' to actually putting digits in! Really satisfying solve :)

21:20. Quite slow compared to the rest of you, but a quick solve for this novice! I thoroughly enjoyed solving this, very smooth and simple.

what is the bonus?

@Mr.CHEN As of today, there are 1241 solves on SudokuPad, and likely many others on F-Puzzles. Only 70 people have commented on their time here, in Logic Masters Deutschland. It is likely that non-responses did not make the double bonus time. Your double bonus is that you know the most conservative estimate is that all who responded in LMD are in the top 6% of the world in solving this speed run. Congratulations. Peace to you. -Will Power

20:45 for me, filled in the entire grid with pencil marks for regions then worked on reducing things and it took until finding one specific spot that the entire grid collapsed upon itself extremely satisfyingly

am 22. Februar 2024, 12:55 Uhr von VFRIP
9:46, it flowed beautifully all the way through

am 21. Februar 2024, 20:22 Uhr von coreydixon
11:13 Colored the grid. Got a few digits before disambiguating the Fire. Then did Wind. Slowed down a bit with Earth. Very fun!

am 19. Februar 2024, 07:57 Uhr von psiphiorg
My time was 4:26 in the Sudokupad website. I fully colored the grid (earth=green, wind=yellow, fire=red) before solving, then fully pencil-marked each color with the available digits, to help with the kropki dots.

am 19. Februar 2024, 03:58 Uhr von Hajuhn
3:38 for me, quite a quick one

It’s my first time solving a puzzle like this. One I understood the pattern, it was fun and easy to solve. 17:59 was my time. I didn’t use coloring.

am 18. Februar 2024, 12:12 Uhr von weiken
7:09 finished colouring before putting in numbers.

am 18. Februar 2024, 08:33 Uhr von Suxamethonium
15:15 but in my defence I did spend a rather long time trying to decide what colours to use for each element!

7:12.

Very nice and appraochable. Tbh, I had to read the rules probably three times to understand wether each region contained only one or one of each elements. Only after looking at the regions a bit more, I got the piece of mind that I was on the right track.

9:14 for me. Think this was my first ever Sudoku where the entire grid was filled with pencil marks before I got a digit!

@MacZidane Try my puzzle "Christmas Lights at Night" from a couple years ago. You might find the same situation. 8-)

8:30 for me and I must say, I finished it much quicker than I thought I would. I always love your puzzles, Will, and the difficulty rating doesn't always hold true for me so I wasn't sure what to expect. It ended up being a joy to zip around the grid filling everything in!

am 16. Februar 2024, 20:33 Uhr von Silverscree
My days of speedrunning killer sudoku were both a help and hindrance here, but thankfully I caught all of my in-the-same-cage deductions quickly. 4:41 for me!
