Thanks

65:03, not easy to see some of the logic (I kept notes on a piece of paper!), but I enjoyed doing the math and using that to eliminate digits from certain cells.

grats! 🎉🎉🎉

Technically an XV sudoku with a negative constraint lol

This one would be a lot more fun to play if we could also draw those lines.

76:21 for me.

The 3-7 pairs really hid well from him a lot of the time, didn't they XD

The only cryptic where I could stand a chance. So funny to watch!

This is how I feel solving regular cryptics.

*In the voice of Attenborough* And here we see a two and a three canoodling, rather agressively, as is their nature. Later, the three will retract to the corner, while the two will scurry away, hiding from the eight. - Congratulations CTC!

ANODE > DEIFY > CRIED > EDICT A satisfying solve rounding off a growing streak to 55. 😊

Well done on 600,000, this channel always makes a bad day good and a good day great.

Anyone else still left wandering why the bird was going mad outside?

Maybe I didn't understand the rules , but I see about 15 mistakes made in this puzzle.

Nice puzzle . Don t forget the 5/ 10 rule😂

Congratulations!

Bravooo 🎉

Congratulations on 600k! Well deserved to all involved!! Thoroughly enjoy the videos and positivity they show! Onto the next milestone! 🎉

Congratulations on the 600k

Well done Simon and Mark! What a treasure you are to the world! Continue to use the gifts and talents God has given you for His honor and glory.

CONGRATULATIONS !!! Now for the million.

43:56 today. after i solved the big cages, i completely forgot the no identical digits in cage rule for the 27cage. wasted at least 5 minutes on it. funny how brain can turn off all of sudden.

I like how he factors 600k. Not 2 * 3 * 10^5, but 120k and how many 5s in that. :)

Well done. I was around your 25,000 subscriber. I've had a ball watching your daily evolution into compelling youtubers. Lots of love, Peter

Congrats on 600k! Finished this fun one and cruised in with a total time of 43:57.

Best channel on UA-cam. That is all.

Heeeeeey macarena!!! 600000/1000000 🥳🥳🥳

Congratulations, but there is no way I could ever solve this puzzle.

At 29:20 on, the easiest way to figure out what's in the purple cage is to realize that it excludes either 27 or 36. But it can't exclude 36, because there has to be at least one 3 (from either 3 or 6) in the green bowtie portion of the purple cage. So the pair outside of the bowtie is 69, and the remaining digits in the cage are 13548, with the 5 in box 5.

Congratulations! :)

Well deserved. You make puzzle-solving enjoyable.

This was absolutely fascinating to watch, as Simon's experience of attempting to solve this felt very much like my attempts to solve more conventional cryptic crosswords, where I understand (thanks in large part to the weekly Friday masterclass!) the techniques, but the general knowledge required often defeats me. I got MARVEL, TAYLOR'S VERSION, NO CAP, INSTA, ED SHEERAN all pretty much instantly. I think this is an excellent idea and really well executed both by setter and solver.

What an interesting puzzle! I do wish you'd rediscover your sudoku skills. You used to be on the UK sudoku team, but today you can't do sudoku for toffee. You either don't look for, or can't see perfectly obvious digits, and your lack of rigour to ensure that the effects of each deduction are fully applied (updating all pencil-marks seen by it, checking whether it removed options for a different digit, etc.) makes your videos increasingly tedious. Your break-ins are excellent, and when you get stuck, your ability to spot difficult logic is also excellent, but as soon as you're on level ground you just go to pieces. You're like the legendary haggis that run nimbly around the highlands of Scotland, but their unequal length legs mean they can't even walk on level ground. I appreciate that you're doing live solves, so I don't expect perfection, but I'd like to see you at least strive for perfection. Your attempts to solve sudoku without using sudoku are getting tiresome. You used to apologise profusely if a video took more than 30 minutes. Granted puzzles have got harder, but not all, and it's now rare for you to have a video shorter than 30 minutes, even the easier puzzles often take you 40 minutes. Pre-COVID, most times posted in comments were significantly longer than yours, now they're often a fraction of yours. I'm sure that's because like me they've learnt from you effective strategies for breaking in, but unlike you, they haven't abandoned sudoku. I've been taken to task before for moaning at you, but I only do it because I know you're capable of much better. Congratulations on hitting 600k subs BTW.

This was great! If you're interested, the blog called Squared Pursuit has 50 "Quiptics" for American audiences that might be fun to cover next.

55:30 B2/B4 were stalling me for so long.

Congratulations on 600k! Between crosswords, sudoku, many different kids of pencil, logic and word puzzles, and even puzzle video games... it has been amazing to see this channel grow into a celebration of puzzling at its purest. This channel and community is a gem in the sea of UA-cam, and I hope you'll keep growing and spreading the love of simple, good-natured puzzles.

The best CTC that I have seen. Since beginning the CTC odyssey, I can now solve (sometimes) the old-style crosswords and seeing you solve this with no knowledge of the answer, other than using the cryptic definitions, was wonderful. A pleasant surprise on a Sunday evening. 🙏

Tremendous fun. I hope The Times provides more, and that you cover them!

I'm proud to be 0.00016666666666667% of what got you to 600k.

Gotta keep those canoodling twos and threes separate lol! Congrats on 600,000!!!

Congratulations

I'm 63 but I found it far more accessible than the Classic Cryptic. BTW Eze will sign for Spurs.

Congratulations on 600K subs! I've been following this channel for at least 4 years, and I am so fortunate to see each milestone achieved in this channel from 300K, 400K, 500K and now 600K!

Simon saying "Notable rerecording" a hundred times.... there is only one notable rerecording of anything Simon, it's one of the most famous things of the past few years!

Took me 30min … to realize Simon is wearing a bow tie! Congratulation for 600k! 🎉

Congratulations! 🤟🏾

Only a "Q" away from a pangram I think, all the others oddballs in included.

Congrats on the 600k! So happy for you guys ❤ I'm from the Covid wave of subscrivers (jee it's been 4 years 😮) and your videos are the one piece of routine that didn't change for me in those years. I wish you two never ciese to amaze at the face of beautiful logic. Salut!

As a math major, the first few minutes of the solve were painful to watch. 100,000 has 5 factors of 10, so 5 factors of 5 and 2, then 2 and 3 for the 6. So the factors are 2^6, 3^5, and 3. Congratulations on 600,000 🎉 Now a bunch of us need to unsubscribe, then subscribe so we can celebrate 600,000 again!!!!

The first, and almost certainly only, cryptic crossword that I will ever solve faster than Simon.
