September Patreon Reward - Looney Tunes

I ran into this as well, and had to go back and review my solutions - it turns out I'd violated the knight restriction in my Bugs solution. All three of these puzzles have only a single valid solution, so you've probably done something similar - go back and see if you've accidentally violated any puzzle rules, since the CtC app only enforces classic sudoku restrictions, not anything else like palindromes, antiknight, etc.

The CtC page doesn't enforce any rules beyond classic Sudoku yet, so this is expected behavior.

Finding the right boxes to bring in for the final puzzle was awesome, a great step you can only have with multiple puzzles.

I had the same problem but then I realized that I had made an error in the knight's move puzzle - the check said it looked good but it didn't pick up on my knight error..!

Puzzle links seem to be broken? Edit: Working again September 8th

Not sure how to get the sandwich score either. Any idea on what it means?

definitely great puzzles. I am unable to transfer more than 1 box from any puzzle to the final puzzle however. I may have found alternative solutions to the puzzles perhaps. just stuck

Very approachable and very fun. Thanks, Mark & Simon!

I found the 3 puzzles hard but really fun! Struggling to figure out which 3x3 box to transfer from each puzzle though.. Potentially just missing something easy! 😂

whew. finally finished and got a happy check. Later saw an error on the palindrome. I can send screenshots to someone if that's helpful.

The Silver Chords

I'm also having trouble with Tweety. Any hints?

Love this! Request for the next set: if possible, can you give each sudoku its own page? The grids now are fairly small and I have trouble getting all the pencil marks in there without it becoming a scribbling mess. And although the app makes it easier for sure, I'm trying to use sudoku-time as away-from-screen-time...

Thank you, these were really fun! So just to be clear: the "sandwich score" for each character is calculated from inside that character's box that is in the final puzzle. Only the digits that are between those 1's and 9's that have a sandwich clue outside the grid are counted. So if there is no sandwich clue marked between the 1 and 9, those digits are NOT added in the score. Is that correct?

That tweety one really has me stuck. I got the other two though. The Bugs one was my favorite so far.

Man these are hard.

Actually I think the 'character box' used to count the score is the box that is transferred from the respective character puzzle. Or maybe I misunderstood something...

Looney Tunes are great, but you should really do a Hanna Barbera puzzle set so Simon can finally get a Scooby Doo.

Cracking The Cryptic

Any marked 3x3 box could be selected from each of the character puzzles. Mark

or is the first 3x3 from R5C1 to R7C3?

are the character 3x3s box 4, 5 and 6?
