Hello Steve I must apologize. In the last example I discovered that this can only be solved using the 5 as the pivot number. Out of millions of viewers world wide you are the first to point out my mistake. I will correct it as soon as possible. Robin.

@@SudokuGuy Hello Robin, thank you for your prompt reply. Being a relative newbie to Sudoku and a retired teacher I find your KZbin sessions the most engaging from the others. However I also find the difficult Sudoku puzzles almost impossible especially when it comes to resolving "hidden pairs" as I usual end up with two to choose from. How can we decide which is the correct pair.

They shouldn't be. thanks for your support Steve. I hope you read my reply. Robin

If you can solve very difficult puzzles without using small numbers I greatly admire you.I But yes you need to learn how solve without the assistance of putting in small possible numbers BUTwhen you reach the high level of difficulty then you will find adding small numbers helpful. See tutorials #69 and above. Robin

@SudokuGuy thank you Robin. I will try. I always did easy to very hard sudoku by placing the small numbers and used the techniques but for the current book my strategies changed. I was doing the same thing for the easy ones placing numbers. By the time I reached 50% of medium ones I started doing all by direct method. Next is hard ones. Let me see how I can handle them. My strategies are evolving over time. I really appreciate the effort you put in your videos. Thank you.

My pleasure. Happy New Year. Robin
