For frequently asked questions FAQ
When you have 3 or 4 or 5 or 6 or more empty cells in a row column or block this "outside the puzzle" procedure is VERY helpful.
Frequently when solving puzzles there are several paths to take to solve the puzzle. SO MUCH DEPENDS ON WHAT YOU SPOT AND WHEN. In this video there is a 3X3 of 2,3 and 5. which means you can remove all other small numbers of 2,3 and 5 in the rest of the row. This will also help you come up with a correct solution. Thanks to Jim W for pointing this out.
ALSO note that 8 can only go in column 3, because block 3 has an 8, column 5 has an 8 and column 1 has an 8. See lesson 13 "There's only one place it can go"

Thanks for the effort and explaining different techniques to solve sudoku puzzles. I have a question though. In the first step you have identified missing numbers in our example row, why you did not use that list of 5 numbers to find small numbers (possibilities) but rather tried all 1-9 numbers?

[@SudokuGuy]

Hi Adrin good question. I am a teacher and thus provide a step by step approach for the player whiois learning a technique for the first time. Experienced players need not have to do this.

[@tweetiebird]

@@SudokuGuy I admit it thru me off too. When you were approaching it from a line of 9 numbers and writing the missing ones to the side and then jumped to analyzing the individual square, it was confusing. I think approaching the individual square first is primary to solving the larger puzzle. I can look at the first square and start with the first missing number and look up/down and across the connecting rows to see if it is in another corresponding square. If so, then it can't fit in that row it has to go into a different row within that block. I just keep working that angle and you will see where the blocks exists and eliminates it from that row then know where the missing number belongs. I sometimes just scan the squares down and across to see if I can see matching numbers that show me where to place the final missing number. Like"2" is in square 2 row 3; and then "2" is in square 1 row 1 so that has to mean "2' has to go into square 3 in "row 2". Course you have to check the down rows too because you might have more than one empty spot in the same square/row and have to do the same process of elimination to plug it into the right empty spot. You can get to where you can scan for this in no time eliminating a lot of numbers and move on to the harder ones but have gotten a lot of the easier ones out of the way already and you are also playing against the clock too, well online anyway.

[@mahammadmammadli5101]

Just a hint, if you consider the outside numbers (2,3,5,7,8), you do not need to check all possible numbers (1-9) for blank cells in the rows. Because 1 4 6 9 are already not possible

Your original Sudoku was unsolvable with the numbers shown!

[@SudokuGuy]

Hi mike 77 You are right, however this was a demonstration of a technique. It was NOT a complete puzzle.

[@Strazman]

Maybe you didn't watch the whole video before posting this comment. He said multiple times that "for the sake of argument" he will put in a few extra numbers to demonstrate this technique. It was never meant to be solvable from the beginning.

[@hascleavrahmbenyoseph7186]

Thank-you Mike77. I tried to do this puzzle b4 watching the vid, and noticed within a few minutes that 4,5,8 in column 1 and row 6 make the Box 5 unsolvable. As for saying, suppose I put a 5 here and suppose I put a 3 there... some people are going to miss-interpret that as a technique. No SUDOKU instructor should ever use an unsolvable puzzle unless it is for the specific purpose of teaching people how to recognize that the puzzle is unsolvable.

[@kerrybrown1192]

I agree Mike. I'm guessing the problem is the 1 and 4 in block 2 column 6 because there needs to be a 4 in row 4 block 5 I discovered it was invalid when I tried to do the puzzle before watching the Lesson :(

[@AnonimityAssured]

Unfortunately, the puzzle shown here has no solutions. That is to say, it is self-contradictory right from the start. Using my technique, I encountered a contradiction after just 6 moves (although I didn't notice until about the 12th move). This is the order in which I started the solve (here, in each triple of digits, the 1st indicates the digit to be written, the 2nd indicates the row number (1 to 9 from top to bottom), and the 3rd indicates the column number (1 to 9 from left to right): 646, 842, 823, 834, 232, 552. At this point, there is no place for a 4 in box 4. As it happens, the same contradiction could have arisen after just two moves: 842, 552. Indeed, with a little extra reasoning, the contradiction can be revealed before writing in anything. None of this invalidates your technique, but it's a bit unfortunate.

[@SudokuGuy]

This is not a real puzzle but set up to show a technique. See my comments below the video in tutorial 40 AND tutorial #41

[@delamordant]

It makes no sense first writing all the numbers down that can be filled out in that row and next not using it. Each time you check all numbers from 1 to 9 while you actually only have to check the numbers that are still missing: the ones you wrote down at the right of the row. By not limiting you to these numbers you almost made an error (the nine, remember) and you needed more time than necessary.

[@SudokuGuy]

A demonstration only. Yes there are other ways.

Great video showing pointed pair in a row or column and single value within a 3x3 or row/column. I still need to learn more advanced techniques to solve evil or diabolical puzzles even with a program or excel spreadsheet. I have learned a lot.

[@SudokuGuy]

Thanks, Just in case look at tutorials 25 and up. They provide many tricks for advanced puzzles. There are still more tutorials coming for diabolical puzzles. Much depends on what algorhythm was used to design the puzzle.

[@SudokuGuy]

Look also at tutorial # 41

Your explain approaches that are very understandable. I thought I was simply great at solving sudoku puzzles. My determination led me to spend a lot of time solving “ hard” puzzles. But I came across a very hard puzzle that had me spending far too much time trying to solve the puzzle. After five days I realized that I was not able to place a number. I gave up my pride and found you on KZbin.. You were explaining an approach. to a very hard puzzle. Thanks to your ability explaining very understanding ways to solve tough puzzles, I went back to my very hard puzzle and finally solve the puzzle. Thank you very much for your time and effort developing truly understanding solutions for the really tough puzzles, You should feel good offering meaningful solutions to the really tough sudoku puzzles.

[@N0beefstew4u]

I like to write the numbers outside so I save myself some time in not going through the entire process of all nine numbers. For example, you marked 2,3,5,7,8. While working that row, those are the only numbers I am concerned about. This also helps prevent you from putting the wrong number in like that pesky 9 that slipped in on you. Your videos are very helpful! Thank you.

[@SudokuGuy]

Hi Shayne thanks for sharing and thanks for your support.

[@MegaLight4Ever]

I truly don't see how the outside the box method was helpful since he had to also write my numbers inside the box... and then arbitrarily place numbers in other parts of the puzzle (such as the Number 5). I'm confused. 😳
