Añadido: 2026-05-16

[00:00:00]Hello, let's do the Netflix Puzzled Starstruck for May 12th. This one's called Puzzle Party. Uh we'll do the easy then the hard. The easy is called Puzzle Party.

[00:00:09]All right. So, the way we play this game is in each row, each co- column, and each colored region, we need to place exactly one star, and also uh stars can't touch each other, even diagonally. So, a star here and a star here would not be allowed.

[00:00:22]All right. So, this is a gimme, this is a gimme.

[00:00:24]Now, gray has only one place for a star.

[00:00:27]Yellow has one place for a star.

[00:00:29]Green's in one of those two, it eliminates from here, but also these two cuz they touch all of green.

[00:00:34]Brown is down to this one, green's down to this one, indigo's down to that one, and then red. This was a This was a pure plunker. I didn't have to do that two-cell region. I just hadn't noticed brown yet.

[00:00:44]All right. Could probably do that one in 10 to 15 seconds.

[00:00:48]All righty.

[00:00:50]Uh Yeah, I messed up again.

[00:00:55]All right.

[00:00:57]Someone said the back button, but I never remember to press it. All right.

[00:01:00]This one's called Starstruck.

[00:01:03]Oh, it's by Murat Kantarcı. That's a new setter.

[00:01:06]At least not a common one.

[00:01:08]All right. Let's play.

[00:01:11]All right. sts.t All right. Um two-cell region So, we get rid of all these.

[00:01:20]Uh this is an uh that one eliminates from here. Oh, one-cell region. I just noticed that. We don't usually have one-cell regions in the hard, so I didn't notice.

[00:01:29]Uh we get rid of all those for blue, get rid of these for gray. Oopsie, too many.

[00:01:34]These for gray. Red's in one of these two, so we can eliminate all of these.

[00:01:40]Brown's in these.

[00:01:45]Uh indigo sees this one.

[00:01:49]Row, column.

[00:01:52]For what it's worth.

[00:01:53]Um Is there like an obvious like next step here?

[00:02:02]Oh, yes, this dark orange is one of these two, so that's out. That gives us the blue.

[00:02:08]Now red is this one, gray is this one.

[00:02:11]Green is one of these, so that's out.

[00:02:13]That gives us brown.

[00:02:16]Okay.

[00:02:19]We got this one, and so now orange is this guy. That gives us yellow and indigo and green. All right.

[00:02:26]Pretty uh straightforward hard today, but we do have a new setter, so they might be calibrating.

[00:02:31]Uh be interesting to see if we get more from from that setter or not.

[00:02:35]Well, how'd you do?
