A lot of clever logic, and I really enjoyed how the pattern resolved what would have otherwise been a ton of deadly patterns in rows 3 and 4 at the end of the puzzle. And what you said at 16:00 in the video about uniqueness being able to resolve things -- be very careful, because uniqueness as a solving technique often goes out the window where variants are concerned! So it's good that you didn't use it there. My time today was 11:15, solver number 739.
07:06 I didn't knew how to starr but before I pencilmark everything I tought about the arrows in the same row... 😅 it was very fun and the end was lovely! 🤗
I liked Sleuth's tricky resolution at the end! Very neat observation! Query: why are the lines called "entropic", given that entropy is a measure of (increasing) disorder? It seems that horizontal lines alternating in a very regular pattern are "Anti-entropic"! Or is it the idea that "anti" goes without saying; that these are lines of entropy 0?
I didn't spot some of the logic you used to finish off the entropy lines, and so I ended up with some apparent deadly patterns in rows 3 and 4 which I had to bifurcate to resolve, but nevertheless a very enjoyable puzzle. EDIT: Having now watched to end of the video, it seems like you had the same problems resolving rows 3 and 4 as I did, so maybe I didn't miss as much logic as I thought.
So much fun! 12:15 for me.
Nice one! loved the end!
Lovely puzzle, thanks for posting Sleuth
My pleasure!
Really enjoyed that one!
Glad you enjoyed it

that was lovely sleuth well done
19:05 ... that's an amazing fun puzzle and a very clever idea.
14:45 ... just had to have another shot!
00:08:47 for me! Loved the twist
Now i get it. For some reason i didn't spot the double 4 at the end and guessed right. Nice twist and very enjoyable puzzle.
Glad it helped!

Nice work!
14:14 for me Got pretty entropic time for entropic sudoku.
Looking forward to watching this to see if the problem that caught me out near the end and made me slap my head was actually a problem :D

First order entropy

25:51 slow to see the last 46
I got another solution! Seems good also. Will try to send it to you for your confirmation.
Hey, hope you saw my response 😀
@@SudokuSleuth Yes, thanks
yes, tricksy ending, but pretty approachable apart from that.
