      i know, the channel has noticeably improved since tyler brought on a second editor to share the load. i think the first guy must have been starting to get overwhelmed, and i don't blame him! editing hours of tyler down into little bite sized videos is no simple task!

    I like rules like this. As a sudoku fan, I find that variants like killer sudoku make the game more interesting and also easier, since restrictive logic also means you always get more information with every tile you fill. Very fun!

    • @Meme0Lord0Jeff
      @Meme0Lord0Jeff Před rokem +11

      might I ask what killer sudoku is? I find the base sudoku very fun, but I haven't heard of the variant before

      @@Meme0Lord0Jeff so in a nutshell, extra "cages" are drawn around cells on the board and each one contains a number in the top left corner that the digits in the cage have to add up to. usually you can repeat digits in a cage as long as they don't break the basic rules

    @EmilyGamerGirl Před rokem +45

    The "Outside" here is a common puzzle variant I've usually seen referred to as "Caves". One of the simplest rules you can determine of a Caves puzzle is that there can never exist a "checkerboard" 2x2 area. This is because you will ALWAYS isolate an island, like you showed at 15:44- so any configuration that creates a 2x2 checkerboard is automatically able to be ruled out.

    • @Lomky
      @Lomky Před rokem +5

      And "Wall" here is a type of puzzle called "Tapa"! So interesting seeing these pencil puzzles overlapped with minesweeper

    • @satibel
      @satibel Před rokem +1

      Yeah, if you have 2 diagonal mines with the opposite being non mines, you need to connect the non mines around a mine, which means it can't touch the border.

    If you liked the Wall Minesweeper Variant, you might also like the puzzle it originates from - Tapa. There are a few very interesting extra rules, for example all mine fields must be orthogonally connected, which leads to insane logical deductions. I urge you to try it out, it is maybe the coolest kind of puzzle I ever played!

    Hey, the rulesets of these videos make me think about the pencil puzzles found in online puzzle contests (the Wall ruleset being very close to the "Tapa" puzzle type and the Outisde ruleset being close to the "Cave" puzzle type), i think you would enjoy them and they might even be good content for videos
    The website logic masters india recently hosted a contest called "PANFOPCWHTTAPA (Picking A Name For Our Puzzle Contest Was Harder Than The Actual Puzzles Are)" which is a good introduction to those puzzle contests (they're originally done with pen and paper but a very good tool for solving them on computers is usable)

    spoiler alert for the one of the rule
    one trick that you can do with the outside rule is that you can't have a 2x2 checkerboard of mines and non-mines, I can't really explain it on words but someone on the replies has explained it

    • @nuggetoftruth865
      @nuggetoftruth865 Před rokem +7

      For those who don't want to look up the video: Start with a 2x2 checkerboard of 2 mines and 2 non-mines. In order for the non-mines to connect, they have to "wrap" all the way around one of the mines, therefore making it impossible for that mine to connect to the edge of the board.

    • @marco4889
      @marco4889 Před rokem +3

      An easy way to see it is to realize that since all empty cells have to be connected, there must exist a connected path of cells between the two empty cells in a 2x2 checkerboard, and since they touch diagonally this forms a loop, preventing at least one of two mines from ever escaping outside to an edge.
