November Reward Solution Videos
🕑 Added 2021-11-25 10:00:03 +0000 UTCHello Patreons!
Thank you so much for supporting us, and thanks to those who complimented the extraordinary November reward, the PBN Institute puzzle pack by Panthera and TheAsylm. 178 of you matriculated through all the puzzles and reached degree level.
We are delighted to present videos to some of the most interesting puzzles amongst the 45 presented. Some of these were considered the hardest, and some had picture results that really resonated with solvers! Amongst the eight videos are one each by Panthera and The Asylm, the constructors of the pack.
We're not planning to provide completeness on this pack, but the techniques used in the videos were relevant to all the puzzles, which were based on the Japanes Sums idea. For the puzzle rules, please refer to the original pdf.

Re: remember kids, this was not a good puzzle that should have not passed testing. The best way to solve it (and how I solve it) is through simon style bifurcation, ie. "if you can see it, it's not's bifurcation".
For me 04-01 Remember, kids... was one of the hardest too. I solved this with brute force... I am wondering what approach would be correct there.
