Had to make an account just for this! I got a time of 05:51, very proud of that.
I do play with conflict checker, so disclaimer there. Still took a lot of focus and rapid tapping.
Hello, @ThatUnfunPerson I see you didn't enter the solution code into this puzzle page in Logic Master Deutschland. Can you tell me why. Thank you for playing and commenting. -Will Power

32:21 but I had to leave in the middle to solve a diplomatic crisis between two of my children and didn't pause the timer. Great puzzle! Thank you for creating it!

Frustrated with missing out on the 10 minutes, but a great little fun puzzle

Fun little puzzle! Are you able to update the CTC puzzle link to the new one with the solution?
@Jackson Philion Hello. I don't own a licensed copy of SudokuPad. I create my puzzles in F-Puzzles. I only use a conversion technique I received from another setter, which does not add the solution in. Also, when people have attached a "solution page" to comments, I can't even see what they sent, besides the start of the puzzle. This means I would be posting content I can't even check for validity. Sorry. Peace to you. -Will Power

6:45 for my time, avoided coloring which helped!

9:31. The rules felt quite hard to understand at first, but when I understood them I was able to solve it fairly quickly.
on 28. April 2024, 03:20 by ickie
Super fun puzzle! As a new puzzler, I'm pretty proud of my 14:06 time.

14:03 :) Very fun puzzle!
on 20. April 2024, 04:45 by RussKozerski
13:19 But right in the middle of the solve, my beautiful wife delivered a delicious breakfast, so my attention was divided. Still, didn't expect to earn the bonus, so I'm really happy with that. Enjoyable puzzle. Thank you.

00:12:14 - absolutely loved it!
on 31. March 2024, 01:20 by mixus minimax
Very nice! One of my first solves of variant sudokus, I must admit it's quite fun. 12:46 for me, I still have to get much faster at spotting obvious clues!

loved it

10:21 D: just short of double bonus! though a typo i didn't notice meant i had to backtrack about a minute, so let's just say it counts :p great puzzle!

Maybe there is hope for me as a speed runner. :-)

21:51. Such a nice puzzle! Seems daunting at first, but solves so smooth

00:06:26! Woohoo!
on 17. March 2024, 22:52 by Scratch4998
nice one. 15:00 on the dot :)
on 17. March 2024, 12:23 by DonQuichopp
23:36 woah, pretty bad compared to the others :-D but at least it was solved below the hour mark ;-)
Loved how the elements interacted with eachother. I think it's really approachable also for aboslute beginners like myself. For us n00bs it's just harder to spot where to turn to next :-D
on 17. March 2024, 04:15 by Tingo
7:36 on time.
This was a blast of a puzzle! The break-in was great the puzzle was highly entertaining. Thanks for setting and sharing!
@Tingo Thanks for playing, and commenting. -Will Power

14:58
Such a fun one!
I coloured and put in pencil markings and the Kropki dots allowed me to 'break in' to actually putting digits in! Really satisfying solve :)

21:20. Quite slow compared to the rest of you, but a quick solve for this novice! I thoroughly enjoyed solving this, very smooth and simple.

5:34
what is the bonus?
@Mr.CHEN As of today, there are 1241 solves on SudokuPad, and likely many others on F-Puzzles. Only 70 people have commented on their time here, in Logic Masters Deutschland. It is likely that non-responses did not make the double bonus time. Your double bonus is that you know the most conservative estimate is that all who responded in LMD are in the top 6% of the world in solving this speed run. Congratulations. Peace to you. -Will Power

Really liked this puzzle! Loved the idea of elemental groups of powers. Managed to solve the puzzle in just 08:58.

13:15, was pretty fun :)
on 23. February 2024, 07:27 by PhoenixAki
20:45 for me, filled in the entire grid with pencil marks for regions then worked on reducing things and it took until finding one specific spot that the entire grid collapsed upon itself extremely satisfyingly
on 22. February 2024, 12:55 by VFRIP
9:46, it flowed beautifully all the way through
on 21. February 2024, 20:22 by coreydixon
11:13 Colored the grid. Got a few digits before disambiguating the Fire. Then did Wind. Slowed down a bit with Earth. Very fun!

Delightful puzzle! The initial logic to colour the board is marvelous, and then everything falls neatly into place.
on 19. February 2024, 13:20 by EmX68
7:14 Makes me an average solver:-)
on 19. February 2024, 11:38 by Tamuha
14:47 nice one.
on 19. February 2024, 07:57 by psiphiorg
My time was 4:26 in the Sudokupad website. I fully colored the grid (earth=green, wind=yellow, fire=red) before solving, then fully pencil-marked each color with the available digits, to help with the kropki dots.
on 19. February 2024, 03:58 by Hajuhn
3:38 for me, quite a quick one
on 19. February 2024, 00:04 by robbaker292
Wonderful puzzle. Time: 00:08:43. Happy with that!
on 18. February 2024, 20:45 by Fool on Hill
8:09 - slowed down in the second half: poor scanning. Nice idea.
on 18. February 2024, 19:01 by deadpanditto
It’s my first time solving a puzzle like this. One I understood the pattern, it was fun and easy to solve. 17:59 was my time. I didn’t use coloring.
on 18. February 2024, 12:12 by weiken
7:09 finished colouring before putting in numbers.
on 18. February 2024, 08:33 by Suxamethonium
15:15 but in my defence I did spend a rather long time trying to decide what colours to use for each element!
on 18. February 2024, 07:28 by tobymgk
9:46 - just barely
on 18. February 2024, 07:11 by GenKavik
15:01. Just missed it. But I did have to reset Earth at the beginning, so cutting that out, I definitely got under 15 minutes.

on 17. February 2024, 13:48 by martin1456
7:28, same range as the others here.
on 17. February 2024, 11:31 by Bambalam
7:22. Excellent puzzle! Took me longer than I would have hoped to get into it, but flew through once the first few digits went in. Beautiful concept

16:48 The puzzle was very nice with a great flow and I liked the challenge, unfortunately my scanning skills weren't good enough to save me from the sea of pencilmarks!
on 16. February 2024, 23:43 by micjo
6:24 for me, but I also had conflict checker on. :)

on 16. February 2024, 22:06 by whitefox
Very nice :) but I still had to read the rules 4 times before starting
6:30 for me
on 16. February 2024, 21:32 by Snaques
7:12.
Very nice and appraochable. Tbh, I had to read the rules probably three times to understand wether each region contained only one or one of each elements. Only after looking at the regions a bit more, I got the piece of mind that I was on the right track.

9:14 for me. Think this was my first ever Sudoku where the entire grid was filled with pencil marks before I got a digit!
@MacZidane Try my puzzle "Christmas Lights at Night" from a couple years ago. You might find the same situation. 8-)

8:30 for me and I must say, I finished it much quicker than I thought I would. I always love your puzzles, Will, and the difficulty rating doesn't always hold true for me so I wasn't sure what to expect. It ended up being a joy to zip around the grid filling everything in!
on 16. February 2024, 20:33 by Silverscree
My days of speedrunning killer sudoku were both a help and hindrance here, but thankfully I caught all of my in-the-same-cage deductions quickly. 4:41 for me!
on 16. February 2024, 20:26 by yttrio
5:13 (with the caveat that the SudokuPad conflict checker was on, making scanning easier), for a very fun speed run!

12:36. I was slower on this one than the last one.
on 16. February 2024, 19:25 by gbrljt
07:23. Got slowed down only by my own typing. Brilliant setting and break-in. Bravissimo!

8:17 Super fun puzzle!
Coloring helped a lot and made for a very pretty finish.
on 16. February 2024, 18:20 by DukeofKent
Absolutely loved this one - region placement just made sense from the off and just flowed.
Brilliant puzzle and just pure fun.
on 16. February 2024, 17:56 by Solved647
9:45 but I have to admit I was rushed at the end and got lucky I didn't make a mistake.
Nice variant.

As someone relatively new to variant sodoku this was amazing. So much fun and was able to complete in 9min 11sec. Such a great puzzle!
