Lines of the same color share the same amount of digits greater and less than 5. Lines of different colors do not.

8:39 finish. Funny enough, when Mark realized his mistake, he was about to put a THIRD 5 in column 9. It brings me back to an old baseball joke. "The Brooklyn Dodgers have three men on base." "Oh yeah? Which base?"

But back to the puzzle, I Pedro-colored this one, just like Simon's (high-low-5, from the Pitch variant). Another fun one!

1:09:33 While I've done a lot of the dot puzzles already, this is my first lines puzzle, so it took me a really long time to actually break in, because there were a lot of things I had to realize for myself.

I have not done a lot of the gas puzzles from the actual GAS videos, but the few I did, I think I took between 10 and 20 mins

Finished in 16:55. I figured out the trick behind the different colored lines immediately, but I had no idea how to actually break into the puzzle until I remembered a few minutes in how certain numbers can only go certain places on German Whisper lines.

18:53 - what a lovely Easternight surprise! Thank you all very much and have a merry weekend!🤗

Very fun puzzle - thank you, A_Majestic_Hobo! I looked at the video length and thought that I would give this one a try before watching Mark's solve. I did it! And then watched Mark, and enjoyed that as well. Thanks for the video.

Mark was amazingly stubborn at ignoring easy sudoku in columns 4 and 6. He didn't resolve the 6/8 in box 5 despite the 6 in R7C7 and the 8 in R3C4. He also did not use the resolved 1/3 pair in box 5 to clean up the 3/5 in box 2 and the 1/5 in box 8.

19:17 I definitely suck at sudoku, but I'm really glad I was able to finish this by myself! What an enjoyable puzzle

42:51, That was a lot of fun, I needed a little bit of help from Mark to get started but after that it flowed pretty well!

14 minutes, this was a fresh breath of air. I guess placing my first digits within a few seconds really helped.

Hello! I’m a new-ish subscriber and i just wanted to leave a comment to say a quick thank you to both of you, Simon and Mark!
I suffer from anxiety and its been hard to deal with life lately but both of you have such peaceful energies and such calming voices that you always manage to help me calm my mind. You both are absolutely brilliant and always manage to make me laugh too!
I wasn’t really into sudoku before but finding your channel really has been a blessing and I’m always so happy to watch your videos! Anyway, thank you so much for being you and i cannot wait to see your next video!
(I don’t know if you’ll ever read this but at least its here just in case :) )

curiously, i got stuck with double 9's in column 2 and decided to check the video for a clue. Apparantly i'm become good enough to do the same mistakes as Mark!

FAQ:
Q1: You missed something!
A1: That could very well be the case! Human speech can be hard to understand for computers like me! Point out the ones that I missed and maybe I'll learn!
Q2: Can you do this for another channel?
A2: I've been thinking about that and wrote some code to make that possible. Let me know which channel you think would be a good fit!

23:58 for me. This was the first time i tried solving a sudoku with german whispers. it took me a while to figure out how they worked, had to consult the video several times in the beginning, and also had to start over after the first 10 minutes when i realised i'd thought about it completely wrong. Even in the end i had trouble finishing it cuz i didn't realise i could finish the last whisper line, which then solved all the pairs i had left.

16:21, very smooth solve, no big gotchas, and nice ruleset

theashen

40:13 It's my first try in a long while so I'm proud haha (although I did cheat slightly because I was stuck until Mark mentioned that 4s and 6s are strained! Totally forgot)
