Apparently, the final slogan "Victory!" (when you solve the puzzle) hints toward the famous painting "Victory Boogie Woogie" from 1944, the very last painting from the Dutch painter Piet Mondriaan before he died in New York in 1944. It's basically a painting full of diagonals, and even the framework itself is diagonal! Which also explains why this puzzle full of diagonals is named after the painting 🙂
It's an unfinished painting, trying to capture the vibrancy of New York and it's boogie woogie music that was popular at the time. But apart from the frame itself, I think all lines on the painting are horizontal and vertical.
@@Leo-ct9pm I just backtracked a few times to match the letters with the digits. I used letters because I really didn't care for a psychedelic, acid-trip grid.
I did this using letters but then, when the fog got cleared, the letters in box 9 disappeared. So instead of being able to directly read them off from the revealed digits in box 9 I had to look at letters looking into box 9 and find which cell was not being seen by whichever letter I was looking for. So Simon using colour made for an easier transcription. I really enjoyed this one. Easy enough to flow for me.
Yeah, I ran into the same issue. I had been coloring the cells into groups of 3 (based on box 3 where I started), but I eventually needed to overlay a second color to differentiate between specific digits to get the actual solve.
I did it in a strange way using letters from one corner of the grid and colours from the other - so in the end when the letters disappeared I still had colours.
While I'm all in favour of Simon amending his colour palette (maybe he could replace black while he's at it), his choice of a blue that almost exactly matches the colour of entered digits and pencilmarks is just such a Simon move, that I'm sure will have no future scanning repercussions. 😂
I love colouring-in puzzles, I love fog of war puzzles, so there was no doubt about me loving this puzzle, and as always no doubt that I love a cracking the cryptic video! Looking forward to seeing more of this lovely new blue.
Despite the video length, I didn't have time to try the puzzle before watching (because I really wanted to watch you solve it, Simon). As soon as I saw the grid and the start of the solve, I knew that you were going to have a good time. Sure enough, it seems that you did! I will definitely do this one myself soon. Thanks for this video!
I finished in 71 minutes. This was an absolutely fun coloring puzzle. I really liked the way the lines interacted with each other. I got stuck on the ending for about 25 minutes. Then, I reread the rules and saw that no bending was capable for lines. What a bad brain I have! That was one of the most exciting finishes I have done and I really appreciate the use of the fog in this one. Great Puzzle!

Absolutely beautiful puzzle. I love it to colour the whole grid and get all of the digits in one moment finally. Sometimes too much possibilities of colouring is very confusing, but in this puzzle it was manageable quickly.
Love a good coloring puzzle, and this is one of the most enjoyable yet. Always moving around the board, bit by bit, falling into place. beautifully done.
You can solve it without knowing that as well. I didn't even notice it could be figured out that easily and only found out they were in fact separate once I put the 5 in. There were some situations where it didn't matter if it was 1 or 2 palindromes, which is how I got by.
This was a VERY fun puzzle. Since I realized right away what was going to be under the fog, I actually solved the whole thing with colors before placing the first digit- and all the rest in quick double-click succession. I love coloring puzzles!
Figured the lines in the fog pretty fast, but then got hopelessly lost. Decided to just watch Simon's solve, but when he mentioned starting in box 3, I decided to try again, though I used letters instead of colors... and finished in 12:02 (conflict checker off), but add a few minutes more for needing help from Simon on where to start. 😅 Many thanks to Br1312te for a wonderful puzzle!
I loved this! Took me a while, even after watching the video, including needing to restart at some point, but I hardly ever do the puzzles and I still enjoyed this one!
I definitely second the comments about the Patreon hunt, which was great fun. And given that I'm not one of the community's resident geniuses, the fact that I sent in my entry today suggests that it's at least loitering in the same neighbourhood as "approachable"! The fog app is also my favourite of the bunch by some distance, and I'm currently banging my head against Qodec's monster of a final boss.
That was great. I took 47 minutes but spent nearly 10 faffing around looking at the possibilities of length 3 bent lines inyo box 9. Then I reread the rules!!!!!!!! and it was easy.
Such a satisfying feeling when you color all the cells, get that one 5 digit everywhere, unlocking the grey and than the rest. Sadly took me longer than expected as i interpreted box 9 wrong at first only to then look again and figured thats the only thing that could have been wrong.
I used letters, which are far easier to scan, but when I put a given digit in box 9 I lost all the letters in that box and had to go back and color my letters. A great puzzle, great concept, and great solve.
I'm rather glad you did this one given that I started in 3 different places last week with letters and colours and failed miserably each time. Merry Christmas.
I lucked into finding the five quickly. I didn't focus on coloring one box and allowing it to spread across the grid, rather I focused on picked points on palindromes that "felt" like they might be restricted and coloring one color at a time. Eventually one happened to land on the five and filled in all the 5s in the grid and after finishing my coloring, I placed all the digits at once :) took me 19:06
Was flying through using letters then found the final disambiguation with a mix of letters and numbers tricky for an overall solve time a mediocre 34 mins. Time to strap in and watch the professionals
Beautiful puzzle indeed, and with so little explanations and rules needed. I think it would have been a nice last laugh on us to have some overload of different rules only to figure out the numbers in the foggy 3x3 box, like killer cells, blackcurrents, white dots, an x or v and some Dutch or German Whisper line interacting with each other.
I'm not sure whether I followed the intended path. Once the fog flashed out, I wondered if I was supposed to locate and place the 5 in block 9. I solved the puzzle with letters. Near the end, I got a triple including the given 5. I colored that to indicate that it was a triple. Once I resolved the triple in letters, I colored the 5 and the letter that it matched. Only when the grid was full with single-letter cells did I swap 5's letter with 5, whereupon the fog flashed out. I had to backtrack a few times to match the letters with the digits. 11:40 I suggest beginning with blocks 3 and 5, because they have the most and longest lines. (I'd also suggest letters, but...)
Solved it in 25:24. :-) Very fun puzzle! For me, this was typically a puzzle where using letters was a great asset to a colorblind man, only slightly supported by some colors. And eventually, the letter were replaced by digits in a few seconds...
Very easy puzzle if you use letter notes. I tried colors at first and made several mistakes. After restarting with letters it only took 13 Min. Great puzzle!
10:17, immediately stared with letters as I saw the puzzle. Was kinda set back once I once I cleared the fog with the 5, because all the given digits overwrote my letters in that square. So I had to do sudoku again!
That was really cool - a creative puzzle! I got most of the way through before I realizing the logic assumption I made, and then got most of the way again before I reread that lines don't bend, but at that point the puzzle was solved other than some transcribing. I started with colors but it made my eyes hurt, so I switched to letters. It wasn't easier, but at least I could tell the difference better.
Finished in 19:21. I used letters rather than colours - watching the video I feel like letters made it easier to fill in the whole grid, but harder to then "break the code", so to speak 🤔
Simon, I appreciate that you do often show some concern for the colour-blind and the vision impaired without really knowing enough, but this puzzle was a prime candidate for using ABCDE.... rather than colours as it would have been a far more accessible solve.
I started with colouring the bottom middle square 😭 spent hours before colouring differently. Can any mathematicians prove that you can start by colouring any "suduku unique" 9 if that is true
i actually beat simon's time today, although i don't have to talk, and it was my second solve. however, the trick is to START colouring in box 3, because you can fill the whole box, usefully, with distinct colours. oh, and to use three LETTERS, because there aren't enough colours to do it properly
I'm pretty sure Br1312te is Br(id)(ge)te with the parenthesized pairs of letters replaced by the sum of their places in the alphabet. "I" is the 9th letter and "d" the 4th, so "id" -> 9+4 = 13. Similarly, "ge" -> 7+5 = 12.
It is possible that Simon realises at some point that the second half of the name is "Woogie" backwards, so the name could be pronounced "Boogie Woogie" with reasonable accuracy, but I'm still at the start of the video so I don't know yet ;-)
In this poem all lovely and lilty 'Bout this puzzle all colored and quilty My one crime I confess Near the end I did guess And so now I feel just a bit guilty. True story.
Started coloring myself, but quickly reverted to letters after the puzzle started to look like unicorn vomit. Plus the letters work better with my brain.
Boogie Woogie, Boogie written from left to right, Woogie from right to left. I started with coloring all squares in Box 3. Because only one square isnt on any line.
Kind of wish there was just a little bit of effort involved in figuring out the digits in box 9. The colouring is lovely, I enjoyed myself a lot, but I was hoping for one last part to the puzzle before the climax. I can imagine that would be difficult to set in a way that doesn't distract from the colouring puzzle, though.
The title and custom success message are referring to the Victory Boogie Woogie, a painting by Piet Mondriaan. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Victory_Boogie_Woogie
I believe the title is meant to be Boogie Woogie, but Woogie is backwards and combined with Boogie in reference to palindromes
I suspect Simon or someone else figured this out between the solve recording and the upload, judging by the video title...
And if you solve it it says "Victory" -> Victory Boogie Woogie, painting by Mondriaan!
It is referring to this: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Victory_Boogie_Woogie
It's electric!
And here I was trying to convince myself the W stood for Wonderland.
Loved how box 9 is a magic square!!
Nice spot!

Another "color the whole grid and fill in the numbers at the very end" puzzle. I love it.
I did it with letters, it was nice until my letters disappeared from the last box.
@@Leo-ct9pm OH NO
@@Leo-ct9pm Yes, that was kind of annoying, should have switched to colour there, was a bit silly to delete a digit to see what the letters were.
@@Leo-ct9pm I just backtracked a few times to match the letters with the digits. I used letters because I really didn't care for a psychedelic, acid-trip grid.
@@57thorns Same here. Letters were much better than colours until the end.
I never thought id hear simon say the word ‘boob’ but here we are
That’s my man! :D
9:52 for anyone looking for it
I love that I read this comment first then when it happened it was the first word…😂
@@st3phgr1ce 😂😂
Simon: Let's think of a better word.
Me: Poop!
I did this using letters but then, when the fog got cleared, the letters in box 9 disappeared. So instead of being able to directly read them off from the revealed digits in box 9 I had to look at letters looking into box 9 and find which cell was not being seen by whichever letter I was looking for.

I did it in a strange way using letters from one corner of the grid and colours from the other - so in the end when the letters disappeared I still had colours.
The whole time I was thinking I should've done letters because that would've been easier to scan than colours. So I guess there are pros and cons.
The surprise 3 in the corner made a very enjoyable video even funnier. I laughed out loud in celebration. What a delight this video was!
Red 5, standing by.
And with one well placed shot, the whole thing exploded!
You're in the clear Simon. Let's blow this thing and go home.
Great solve, Simon! That was one in a million!
While I'm all in favour of Simon amending his colour palette (maybe he could replace black while he's at it), his choice of a blue that almost exactly matches the colour of entered digits and pencilmarks is just such a Simon move, that I'm sure will have no future scanning repercussions. 😂

Is there anything more wholesome on the ‘net than Simon getting excited about a new colour?
My favorite detail is box 9, despite the digits being given, is actually a magic square (every row, column and 3 cell diagonal sums to 15) 🎉 ❤
The end of this puzzle was really some sort of magic.
I see what you did there. :>
I finished in 71 minutes. This was an absolutely fun coloring puzzle. I really liked the way the lines interacted with each other. I got stuck on the ending for about 25 minutes.

Love a good coloring puzzle, and this is one of the most enjoyable yet. Always moving around the board, bit by bit, falling into place. beautifully done.
I needed Simon's insight that the two lines in box 9 were separate palindromes, after which I was away.
You can solve it without knowing that as well. I didn't even notice it could be figured out that easily and only found out they were in fact separate once I put the 5 in. There were some situations where it didn't matter if it was 1 or 2 palindromes, which is how I got by.

13:36 using letters instead of colors and 24:43 using colors. Using colors makes it much harder to spot the differences. Very fun puzzle!
This is the first time that I played a puzzle before the video was out on CTC!! It’s an absolutely beautiful puzzle!

not usually fond of coloring/lettering puzzles, but love-love-loved this one (and the reference to Mondrian--one of my favorite artists)
Incredibly clever! I got all my early progress using a combination of colors and letters so I could conceptualize two "sets" of numbers at once.
Extremely approachable and enjoyable puzzle.
35:15 for me. This one had the best closer I've ever seen. I'm looking forward to watching the video after work.
Such a satisfying feeling when you color all the cells, get that one 5 digit everywhere, unlocking the grey and than the rest.
Sadly took me longer than expected as i interpreted box 9 wrong at first only to then look again and figured thats the only thing that could have been wrong.
What a beautiful puzzle! Well done Simon!😊
Finished in 13:26. This puzzle was delightful!
Beautiful puzzle. Love the deep colouring ones!
what a fantastic puzzle! Love coloring
Ending with a magic square, brilliant puzzle!
I used letters, which are far easier to scan, but when I put a given digit in box 9 I lost all the letters in that box and had to go back and color my letters. A great puzzle, great concept, and great solve.
That was really brilliant! 33:26 for me. Careful coloring is very satisfying.
Even after writing letters into the grid Simon still somehows wants to solve this using colors. Remarkable 😂 Good solve :)
I got a solve in 12:23. Magic square was a nice touch. Relatively easy, but definitely an enjoyable puzzle.
Much prefer colouring puzzles to ones with lots of arithmetic 😂 I took a very different path to Simon, but solved without too much difficulty!
What fun!! Alphabet soup FTW. Although Simon's coloring sure looks prettier!
I'm rather glad you did this one given that I started in 3 different places last week with letters and colours and failed miserably each time. Merry Christmas.
I lucked into finding the five quickly. I didn't focus on coloring one box and allowing it to spread across the grid, rather I focused on picked points on palindromes that "felt" like they might be restricted and coloring one color at a time.

Instead of colors, I used letters, which made it easier for me to see what cells were finished and which could still take on other options.
I also used letters, for me it is much easier.
I did the same, but then had trouble with the magic square, cos my short term memory is awful... Had to get a word doc up...🤣
That was certainly fun to watch.
'Tenet' was a recent (specifically palindromic) answer on the NYT mini crossword, but I can't imagine Simon does that.
I love the given digits are a magic square :)
17:29 ... more fun with colors
Nice puzzle!
Was flying through using letters then found the final disambiguation with a mix of letters and numbers tricky for an overall solve time a mediocre 34 mins. Time to strap in and watch the professionals
Fantastic! Love the reveal!
Beautiful puzzle indeed, and with so little explanations and rules needed.
I think it would have been a nice last laugh on us to have some overload of different rules only to figure out the numbers in the foggy 3x3 box, like killer cells, blackcurrents, white dots, an x or v and some Dutch or German Whisper line interacting with each other.

That was fun. The final solve was a perfect climactic ending.
19:32 for me, lovely puzzle.
I find it easier to use letters rather than colours
Nice little fun one. The first time I found myself removing a digit to get the fog back to reference the ABCD... I used instead of colours.
Solved it in 25:24. :-) Very fun puzzle!
For me, this was typically a puzzle where using letters was a great asset to a colorblind man, only slightly supported by some colors. And eventually, the letter were replaced by digits in a few seconds...
Loved this puzzle! Knew how full the bottom right had to be from the lack of information and where the five would be, very satisfying 32:33 time
Simon was solve 409 and I was 1409, so I expect the counter to rise quickly :D Nice and easy puzzle, colouring puzzles are relaxing ^^
I guessed what would happen under the fog, and it was nice to see I was correct. Cool puzzle.
18:49 - I love puzzles where you can fill in all the letters before swapping them for numbers at the end.
I colored in the whole grid before placing that digit. Couldn't resist.
Very easy puzzle if you use letter notes. I tried colors at first and made several mistakes. After restarting with letters it only took 13 Min. Great puzzle!

Such a beautiful finish.
An Elmer puzzle!
I started with colouring the bottom middle square 😭 spent hours before colouring differently. Can any mathematicians prove that you can start by colouring any "suduku unique" 9 if that is true
9m22s for me. Happy coloring this one. Magical ending!
i actually beat simon's time today, although i don't have to talk, and it was my second solve.
however, the trick is to START colouring in box 3, because you can fill the whole box, usefully, with distinct colours.
oh, and to use three LETTERS, because there aren't enough colours to do it properly
00:15:56 for me. Took almost as long to say the name as the puzzle as to solve it :) Great puzzle! Kind comment.
I'm pretty sure Br1312te is Br(id)(ge)te with the parenthesized pairs of letters replaced by the sum of their places in the alphabet. "I" is the 9th letter and "d" the 4th, so "id" -> 9+4 = 13. Similarly, "ge" -> 7+5 = 12.
Not sure, just google "1312 meaning" 😂
I was thinking Bracabte.. not much of a name, though.
With numerology, any set of digits can be assigned some meaning. All digits have some meaning, so none of them do.
It is possible that Simon realises at some point that the second half of the name is "Woogie" backwards, so the name could be pronounced "Boogie Woogie" with reasonable accuracy, but I'm still at the start of the video so I don't know yet ;-)
17:59 finish. A fun, colorful little puzzle!
This was delightful! Thank you! :D
My god, the final fill-in was so satisfying.
In this poem all lovely and lilty
'Bout this puzzle all colored and quilty
My one crime I confess
Near the end I did guess
And so now I feel just a bit guilty.
True story.
Anyone else thinking about Elmer the elephant?
14:20, 13:48 coloring the cells, 0:32 putting in digits. Sadly, I ended up using some A, B lettering to disambiguate one of the pairs of colors. 😢
'Boogie Goo, Double U' (it rhythms 😎)
Looking forward for a great time 😊
16.30: "light green in the corner...light green in the spotlight, losing its religion".
this was incredibly satisfying
the name is definitely Boogie-Woogie with the woogie turned around haha
Sort of fog of war Puzzle, brilliant.
Started coloring myself, but quickly reverted to letters after the puzzle started to look like unicorn vomit. Plus the letters work better with my brain.
Boogie Woogie, Boogie written from left to right, Woogie from right to left.
I started with coloring all squares in Box 3. Because only one square isnt on any line.
I always wondered why Simon called the Pink colour Purple. And finally when he adds a Purple, he calls it Dark Blue 😉
The pink/purple debate I can understand, but there's no way that new dark blue is "purple".
Very cute. 30:40, with some false starts
Kind of wish there was just a little bit of effort involved in figuring out the digits in box 9. The colouring is lovely, I enjoyed myself a lot, but I was hoping for one last part to the puzzle before the climax. I can imagine that would be difficult to set in a way that doesn't distract from the colouring puzzle, though.
I love a good coloring puzzle.

Simple is always lovely
I had to assume that the semi-covered lines weren't length 2 and 3, sharing either r7c8 or r8c7. That would obey the rule about not crossing.
