@BremSter At 13:54, you missed marking the 5 in c2, which changed your solution path at 24:39. At that point, the correct approach would be to check the possibilities for the 1s in r7r8r9, placing the 1 in r8c7. Thanks for your videos! I enjoy solving your Sudokus every day!
Placing the 1 in row 8 is the key. It can go only in r8c7, unwinding the 123 in box 2 and box 1. This puts 3 in the bulb of the thermo in box 7, forcing the 5, and the rest goes as BremSter did it.
Thanks, BremSter! This was a special puzzle for me, and it's nice to see it reach a wide audience. It's a simple puzzle with a lot of obvious steps, but I wanted it to be fairly broadly accessible.
14:03 - You said these are all 1235, mistyped 4 instead of 5, removed the 4, but didn't replace it with a 5. So, there was never a 123 tripple there. Not want to be picky, but I'm stuck there and this doesn't help. :D Edit: But I could solve it now.
1s in boxes 7 and 9 are in rows 7/9 putting it in r8 in box 8. Now r7c5 can’t be a 1. His following deduction in the video that r8c5 can’t be 8, since it would leave no place for 89 in box, means that it’s a 7. Now r8c9 can’t be 6, since it would make r8c8 a 4, removing all option from r8c1.
Tnx for presenting this one, did a lot on pencil markings as usual when it comes to long thermos & there was always stuff to do, finished in 11:30 A way you could have advanced the solve more quicky was to spot where the 1 goes in row 8 at 14:30 (it goes in c6).
It was a lucky mistake. Without filling in candidates it was really difficult to know what to look for except maybe using the general advice to examine the possible locations of 1s and 9s as those are the most restricted digits in thermo puzzles.
Error at 14.06 when you try to add 1,2,3,5 to column two, as someone else points out below. Luckily it led to the solution anyway. The solution path is to check where the 1's can go in boxes 7,8 and 9.
Really nice puzzle. Solved it in 18:31. Filling in candidates really helps at the end. I am not sure why Bremster is so reluctant to do it especially when he gets stuck on the puzzle.
done in 15:22. i guess i found the 1 pencilmarks in box 7 and 9 faster to rule out the 1 in the bulb of the box 8 thermo and then it solved itself really quick.
You made an inadvertent error in logic at 24:53, based on mistyped pencil marks at 14:08. Hence, you can’t logically place the 5 in box 7 yet. (But you lucked out in that that was the correct placement.) [I would love to see you revisit this puzzle with the correct solve path. I got stuck at the same point.] 😄
at 14:12 missing 5 in r7c2 and r9c2 at 25:12 the deduct that r8c2=5 seems not necessarily I stuck for a long time because I didn't find where 1 goes in row 8.
Very touching story, and also a wonderful puzzle! I thought my solve was a bit scattered, but did manage to finish in just 13:30 (conflict checker off), so I guess I did okay! Many thanks to EPH for the puzzle and to BremSter for presenting it along with the story behind it!
22:00 I think it's a mistyping, omitting 5s from block 7 column 2, but if not, he has a 123 triple. I went back and yes, it was a mistype, but if he doesn't correct it, it's a well-placed blunder because R8C2 really is 5. 25:00 Sorry, the other two 5s from block 7 column 2 weren't entered because 4 was inadvertently typed instead of 5, and then removed. That shouldn't have been a 123 triple but a 1235 quad.
At 15:33 , why is the maximum 7 and why can't you place an 8 there(in RC5)? I can see no restriction for an 8 at that point in the row, column or box and no further explanation is given.

Thank you I was stuck at this exact spot. Watched the video and was saying No, no no when he put the 5 in. You gave the correct clue for me.
Thank you for the hint.
Wow, thanks so much for this comment! I was stumped at the same point and felt validated by the video, and then at that point I was like "oh nonono!!"

great logic. and great solve by Bremster. really enjoyable.

Thank you. This message came at a very appropriate time for me. I wish all of you the best too!!
Thanks, Butterfly. I hope things go well for you. By the way, I'm Eric from BremSter's gaming channel.
@@TheEricthefruitbat I knew the second you called me Butterfly :)
Thanks for bringing this to everyone BremSter.
Just under 20 minutes for me, had a nice flow to it.
Nice thermo sudoku. A lot of pencilmarks were done! 😊

29:52 with a bit of video help.
Puzzle flowed very well.
Nice puzzle.
Great solve by Bremster.

18:28 to solve. Excellent puzzle!

In another word where is 1 in row 8
Really nice puzzle. Solved it in 18:31.

That was a beautiful puzzle. I may just go check out that story. Best of luck to Jakob!

1 in row 8 is the key.
@@TheEricthefruitbat Yep, that’s what I was missing! It all falls apart after that! Thanks!! 😄
14:02 "These are all 1235", but wrote 1234, then removed 4, thus eliminating 5 from the top cell without logic.
38:39 - Happy with that though I did get bogged down a bit in the middle.
13:32 for me. interesting break after the initial batch of numbers
at 14:12 missing 5 in r7c2 and r9c2
at 25:12 the deduct that r8c2=5 seems not necessarily
I stuck for a long time because I didn't find where 1 goes in row 8.
