I wish I had you for a math teacher when I was in school🥰

Thank you!

What is said at 6:20 about the sum to make 7 only being 1, 2 and 4 only applies if that particular cage falls entirely in the same row, column or box.

[@MathsWithJay]

See www.killersudokuonline.com/rules.html for rules under "cage" along with the diagram

[@diegobolso2005]

Maths with Jay thank you for the clarification!

[@miragaiamaia8966]

@@MathsWithJay i was looking for the explanation of that rule. thank you! i also didn't understand how to identify the limits of the cage until i changed for full screen. oops, i need glasses o.o

[@MathsWithJay]

Glad you found it useful!

[@maryjanerosales8862]

Yes thanks. In the online game, will it tell you if you got the puzzle correctly?

[@MathsWithJay]

Yes, if you play online, you can "check" anytime and it will tell you if you have "bad" cells and you can choose to see which cells are wrong

[@bensmith9253]

This was GREAT!

[@MathsWithJay]

@Ben: Thank you!

[@SandWraith0]

It was somewhat helpful. I could follow you perfectly till 8:00. After that you went in fastforward-mode and you lost me completely. In the end, I haven't managed to solve it despite rewatching and pause your video countless times. A little feedback for the next time, if you are targeting (absolute) beginners, please explain it step-by-step at a slow pace throughout the whole video (even if it takes an hour) instead of only the first 8 minutes. Seeing other peoples comments, I assume most of them have been able to solve it following your explanation so on behalf of them I thank you.

[@MathsWithJay]

Thank you for taking the time to give me such detailed feedback. If you find a more useful video on this topic, please do share it here, so that others will find it too.

@Legend: Thank you!

[@scycam3903]

your voice is so nice

[@MathsWithJay]

Thank you!

[@Hihijjp]

Why can’t you have a repeating number it it can go into a different box on a different row?

[@MathsWithJay]

I don't make up the rules!

[@Hihijjp]

Sorry I’m a beginner just trying to understand the game! No shade, very helpful video 😊

[@lacev8147]

still do not know wth i am doing

[@MathsWithJay]

Is there a time in the video where you have a question?

[@estheretmangoetephraimsend8316]

sorry FIRST YOUR VIDEO , sorry for the caps, is very clearly explained. but it seems that there is a math mistake . 7: 16 3rd big square second row, bottom left hand corner. the number writen is 7. but you wrote 4 and 2 . 4 and 2 is 6 THANKS

[@MathsWithJay]

Thank you for your feedback. Note that the "1" on the line below is part of the "7", so 7=1+2+4.

[@finbarrhayes5878]

Thank you
