hello and welcome to thursday's edition of cracking the cryptic where today we've got the return of one of the favorite constructors that we've ever featured on the channel rocky rower the american maths teacher who has come up with the most extraordinary idea here the testing reports on this are that it is just well it's sort of NUMBER_TOKEN out of NUMBER_TOKEN for originality and also a beautiful puzzle to solve it's called sat sudoku after the american um exams um we do get sats over here as well i think now but i've i've heard of them in the context of american exams and apparently in an american exam you get a series of questions so in in our exam here we've got the questions one to nine and then you get multiple choice answers and you have to sort of shade in one of the one of the options to be the correct one that you want to choose in pencil well that's literally how this puzzle works um we basically have to decide which of these which of these clues is the correct one and the others must then be incorrect and there are some consequences that follow from that but not only is that sort of a beautiful sort of germ of an idea but the way rocky rower has implemented this is extraordinary if you just take a look at the questions in order you can see the question four all of the answers are multiples of four and question five all of the possible answers are multiples of five etc it's simply gorgeous um yeah and i'm looking forward very much as you can probably tell to trying it um but what do i need to tell you about before i read you the rules i need to tell you about we've just gone past the first of september and that means if you're a patron of the channel you should be trying looney tunes our looney tunes sudoku hunt which was released yesterday afternoon has already gone at about a hundred correct solutions um and a lot of positive feedback which would which we're delighted by um and i think i should be saying congratulations as well to i think eliza persephone sent us um no emily persephone emily sorry not eliza emily persephone my bad the first correct solution we received so well done to eliza that was very fast indeed um and uh yeah just try it out you'll like it and if you got stuck on last month's reward um the solution video for heatwave by grockles is out as well so that is that's ready to view um now the other thing i wanted to say is that i have tried at least to schedule um the next uh episode of me attempting to complete the witness uh several of you i know have been asking me when my journey through uh witness lab with this land quit that's a freudian slip although i do feel witness quite often when i'm playing the witness um it wasn't i yeah i try not to be so yeah my journey through witness land will hopefully can continue sunday night uk time NUMBER_TOKEN pm um so as many of you who'd like to watch that as possible it would be lovely to have your company um and the only other thing i wanted to mention it was that we by the time this video goes live we might be creeping over NUMBER_TOKEN NUMBER_TOKEN subscribers which is incredible we are within touching distance it
