Hello, Sleuth, Boxes 1 to 3 are the Silver Star or Distinguished Flying Cross, awarded for "gallantry in action". Both are blue white blue white red white blue white blue. Boxes 4 thru 6 are the purple heart (white purple white), awarded for being wounded in action. Boxes 7 thru 9 are the Army Service Ribbon, which is given upon completion of basic training. They are shown in their order of priority, from top to bottom. Thank you for featuring this puzzle on your channel. Peace to you. -Will Power en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Silver_Star_Medal_ribbon.svg en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Purple_Heart_ribbon.svg en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Army_Service_Ribbon.svg

Very colorful puzzle! Not too challenging, either. A nice little puzzle on a holiday. Finished in 18:16. I didn't even use the King's move constraint.

Another person said they solved the puzzle without using the purple symmetry. Meanwhile I solved it without using any of the entropy lines. I think that's what I enjoy most about Will Power's puzzles. They tend to be on the easier side, so I can actually do them all by myself (unlike some of the monstrosities they do on CTC where I can't even get started). The puzzles also often seem to have multiple solve paths, which accommodate multiple solving styles and Sudoku skill sets. Sometimes it's to the point that clues are technically unnecessary, but I think that's a good thing.

I agree with you, he’s one of not many constructors that strives for approachable puzzles that are still immensely enjoyable and memorable 😀

It had many rules and I got confused trying to remember all of them, and because of that I ended up using all clues. But after I discovered that we don't need to use all clues, wich is a nice thing after all, we can almost choose one or two of them to follow and we will eventually solve the sudoku! Thanks for the solve!😊

Luckily has resolved the one having missed rotational synergy within purple area!

That was different. 27 mins I think. Was cool. (Yeah, when I could keep those colors straight, lol) Good job with the "rotational symmetry" in those areas.

22:11 I found it very difficult to see the notation properly with all those different colours, especially the blues and purples. Nice puzzle, though.

It’s a lovely puzzle. Not sure it would work without the colours, they do represent medals 🥲

There is a mistake in the rules. They don't mention the killer cages at all.

Interestingly, it seems like the king's move constraint isn't necessary to solve the puzzle, because I forgot about it and was able to solve the puzzle without it. My time today was 7:18, solver number 130.

Haha, me too - forgot about that and solved without the Kings move rule

I did use the King's move constraint, but with the rotational symmetry I completed the yellow and orange lines without needing the entropic lines. 🤷♂️

i dont get why he didnt want to place the 5 in box 8 at the beginning. based on the symmetry rule the 5 had to go in the middle square because it cant rotate on itself because it would put 2 5s in the same box to sum to 10.

@@SudokuSleuth i think its because people confuse it with bifurcation. but it is completely logical to make that a 5 based on the rule sets given. could even just do the 46 pair first because they the only possible digits able to make 10.
