I wish my hubby would also do Sudokus because I feel like I could solve more complex puzzles if I had his help. I *love* how the two of you are still explaining as you go so that those of us less experienced can follow along. ♥
Very nice puzzle and enjoyable solve. I always find it interesting how the questions one asks determines the solvepath and time of solve. You probably could've shaved about twenty minutes off your solve if you had asked where the 1 in column 9 was immediately after placing 1 on the arrow in box 9. You also missed what I found to be the key cell and question in my own solve: Can r6c1 be 5? This places a 2 on the arrows in boxes 1 and 3 (irrespective of whether the renban in row 1 contains a 2), so the 2 in box 9 must be on the diagonal. There is now no place for a 2 in column 9 (since either r7c9 or r8c9 must now contain a digit between 3 and 5, there can't be a 2 on the renban in column 9). Thus r7c1 is 4, and this collapses the puzzle (it is more or less equivalent to skipping from 45 minutes to 75 minutes in the video).
I absolutely agree about finding the right questions, and once asked, deciding if it feels like you have asked the right question being the key things that determine how long a puzzle takes. For me the key moment was asking about that 3 in box 9, where it seemed as though removing a single pencil mark collapsed the entire puzzle. Should I have asked that earlier? How? I think in retrospect I see that asking about what a renban seeing a 13 does to the 2 in the column is a very good question, but not one we asked early!

Good on Tristan. He's clearly nervous as heck, but is still very articulate.
Aw, thanks! I'm sure I'll get more comfortable with the camera as I go but it's nice to hear I didn't make a fool of myself :)
Well, this was a great deal of fun to watch and I am honored that you chose one of my puzzles for Tristan's debut on the channel!

I've heard of this puzzle. Oooh, I know the constructor. Hey, I know the solvers, too!
Great puzzle, great solve. Going to have to follow the channel, you guys are a delight. Also, I did NOT know zetamath was married to Guy Pierce.
I am a very lucky man (-:

This solve was interesting and incredibly cute, but I can't help but think it might work out better if you share the mic in the same room?
It's something we thought about. There are going to be tradeoffs either way. If you're curious about the details hit me up on Discord :)
I wish I could get my spouse to do puzzles with me
