Sudoku solution - Los Angeles Times 23 December 2024 Expert level

[@georgesthibaudeau1533]

You had the 1 and the 4 nailed down in block 6 for ages ! Nice and relaxing puzzle. Once again, I used a UR avoidance caused by the potential 17 matching pairs in blocks 1 and 2, which forced a 1 to be in r3c4, and the rest was basically sudoku 101.

Thank God you realized the mistake (4) by (6) in (3,9)... I was yelling at you... "nooooooo" 😇
