a little bit of poking fun at my favourite sudoku-solving youtube channel, cracking the cryptic. with love 💙

This is the most niche meme I've ever seen and it made me laugh so hard

[specialkalberta]

It's amazing how consistently Simon will type the wrong number and then retype the correct number.

[MacroAggressor]

Idk why everyone's calling this a niche meme... doesn't everyone spend hours at a time watching someone else complete a Sudoku?

[nedb]

I so hope he’s seen this, absolutely brilliant

[nadines.]

My heart always stops when he types in the wrong number first... wrong key, blindly typing, then corrects immediately but i always fear he wont realize.

You have to add Simon saying well that's a 4 and that's a 5 that's a 3 and therefore that's a 4 and ah good gracious me look at this cell aww this is beautiful this cell can only be a 1 due to this thermo and this 1 in box 3

I have no idea why it took a full year for this to pop up on my feed, but hilariously accurate video - great job.

Bobbins! I'm totally discombobulated. Good grief! And Maverick flies past my window again...

Haha :-) The real answer is that the custom software they had made has 4 modes of input: solution digit, corner marks, centre marks and colour. You can enter corner marks directly with Shift+digit and centre marks directly with Ctrl+digit, but you can also switch modes so that you don't need Shift or Ctrl by pressing the spacebar. Simon hasn't picked up the Shift and Ctrl shortcuts, so he cycles through the modes by pressing space repeatedly for every new kind of input. Result: spacebar sound KACHUNK-KACHUNK-KACHUNK. And if he overshoots by mistake, then he has to press space another 3 times to cycle around. :-P

The joke was already sold from the thumbnail, the first clip really solidifies it, and the fucking end clip just brings it home.

What an amazing meme

BRO I WISH MORE PEOPLE UNDERSTOOD THIS MEME

[jerayneous]

We all thought it, but none of us had the courage to make a video about it 🙏😭

[thHiGuy]

I like the idea that Simon has an RGB keyboard

[scottshaw]

Yes, why it takes 20 loud button presses to change 2 numbers will forever remain a mystery

[SjorsHoukes]

2365 individual commenters: "That's so niche!"

[sKlush]

this is so funny and I have literally no one that I can show this to

[jaybird]

You missed the part where he tells you the secret

[jaega]

"That's worth a bobbins, I think." - taken from the same video.

[Epic-]

That explains why I sometimes solve the same sudoku faster than him when I'm using my phone

[francoistrempe]

I loved this. At the start is seemed like a parody showing how insanely good Simon is that he can solve sudokus super fast, the you see the second keyboard giving the impression that he is solving two at the same time, then you get the punch. Well played.
