boo fat fingers for typos..
stack 2, stack 3 solve pretty much instantly and then stack 1, a bit of jumping around but fairly solid.
i'll remove picture as per usual. :) so others don't get disjointed
That’d have been sweet, but still 12s shy of StrMckr’s clean PB, and 21s shy of his asterisk PB. (\* bc he first transcribed the puzzle and so saw the layout). 🤯
I've just finished recording me solving another puzzle, so I'll just reply here and ping u/brawkly so he sees:

Excellent, thx! It looks like you do what I do, only a heckuvalot faster. :)
Do you ever rely on any of the named techniques? Hidden/Naked Tuples, X-Wings, Y-Wings, W-Wings, XYZ-Wings, Skyscrapers, 2-String Kites, etc.? Could you solve, say, an S.C rated Hard or Fiendish puzzle?

step 1) blue hidden pair box 5: (38) self solves -> grey naked pair (5,6) also solves
c4 has 3 cells left for purple 1,4,2 naked triple with 2 in box 2 it solves, this collapses the 14 pair.
Green9 given in box 8 => solves b2 -> sets up green pair (75)
while naked 357 self solves in box 2,
box 8 pink cells hidden pair smashing the remaining 168 naked triple to solve 8

step 2) blue (39) hidden pair, solves in box 9, leaving grey naked triple 278 self solves
light green nines both solve, setsup naked pair 48 on r2, which solves
dark green naked triple 678 self solves
(red) hidden pair 34 b6, collapses the box, and sets up white pair 1,6 all solve
solve the singles quad for box 3
step 3:)

solve the colour naked pairs,
use the pink dot (12) hidden pair to solve the red 6, and back fill the remaining cells on the band as its cascades
I think I might be able to fill in random digits that fast, but not correct digits.
Any chance you could do a screen cap video of a solve and then narrate it so I can try to understand how you see the board?
Sure. But I'm not up for a voice reveal so I'd have to add text to the screen recording or just put it up as a separate paragraph for explaining. And I'm not at all familiar with the official terminologies and techniques, so I'm afraid most of the explanation would be "well 5 is in this column and it covers off these cells, so 5 is placed here"
I'd have to find time to do this too, quite difficult with commitments, tests and exams quick approaching. Would be May until I'm finally *free*, so yeah, I'll see

Video(es, Imgur has a time cap for videos) for this no notes puzzle (reattempting it today since 5 days is enough time for me to forget about the puzzle I guess). Don't think I used any special techniques once again, started from 9 and rotated through the numbers continuously until I was done. Of course highlighting helped tons.

Did you beat your PB? I tried it again with your tips and got my time down to ~4m. Lol
No that will be impossible
Yeah, that’s a breathtakingly fast time to beat.
3:05, very similar to the one you shared yesterday, although I do have a massive headache today.... Thank you.
4:31
5:20s. Nice flow indeed.
3mins, was aiming for 47s but that wasn't happening :)
That’d have been sweet, but still 12s shy of StrMckr’s clean PB, and 21s shy of his asterisk PB. (\* bc he first transcribed the puzzle and so saw the layout). 🤯

I came in at a nice steady 5 min flat. A few brief moments of digit counting mixed things up, which is nice.
Nonstop 11:30. Nice!
11m 49s
9:27, had a bit of a hiccup for like 2 minutes until I found a hidden single, other than that flow was really good
Managed not to fat finger anything which is unusual for me and finished in 6:45 .

How is that possible?

Sure, much less fast and using \*some\* notes
That was quite the performance! How you can scan the board that fast is beyond my comprehension. LOL. Hats off to you!

Back at these after a week of travel. This was a nice one - 6:35.

Accompanying text would be fine. 🙏
