I think everyone is going to be glad they watched this so it deserves it's own thread.
(unless it's already made the internet rounds that I missed)

I will watch this today and also download sudoku, which I haven't played in too long. I can already feel it soothing my brain...
I love games that involve ordering jumbles of numbers, kind of like laying out a big puzzle on a table I guess. My current drug of choice is 4-suit Spider solitaire, in which you order 2 full decks.
Time for Sudoku Summer!

I subscribe to NYT crossword, and it's probably uncouth to say it, but I do the OTHER puzzles more. Every night I do the vertex (kind of like a connect the dots), at least find the pangram in the Spelling Bee, and then do the easy sudoku and the hard one with all the "auto candidate" on so it goes real quick. I keep trying to read before bed instead of this but it's my ritual for years now I can't shake.

I started my day watching this and then immediately sent it to my dad!
I wish I felt this level of wonder & delight about anything!

I was also entertained by this and even sent it to a man. I found his modest delight in the puzzle rather than in himself very refreshing.

I enjoyed this a lot, although I was only able to follow it via the emotional narrative arc. I couldn't follow what was actually happening in the puzzle. I don't understand sudoku. There is a shrill shrieking void in my brain where normal basic math is supposed to live. But I really loved watching this nice man's mounting awe as genius was revealed to him
