i approached this puzzle over multiple sessions - about 9 hours total. each step forward in the solve and the interplay of the constraints felt very rewarding. despite the time it took me i never really felt stuck and so never considered bifurcating. overall, several “a-ha” moments and no shortage of great sudoku. i rated this 5 stars for difficulty & loved the whole ride. thanks nico!

Yikes! The most difficult NikoD puzzle by far! Very subtle and interesting constraints, and how the constraints work together. But I needed lots of experimenting (bifurcation) to solve.

This is a hard one. I made a tiny bit of headway but could never fully break in. I'll try again another day and see if I can do it.

Very nice! It took me ages to understand how to approach the puzzle. After finally grasping that, I still think it is not obvious at all, it was a marvelous solve. Thanks

Well, gave it a shot but didn't get far, ha ha. Maybe CTC will take it up.
