This PROVEN Strategy Can Solve Hard Sudoku - SHC 259

Good learning puzzle about UR. The 56s in four rectangle cells is right, because its in four blocks, already the same situation confused me in beginning days, and the puzzle also made by Mr.JULIAN in other channel. I didn't find any hard to solve in this puzzle. 24, 24, 24, 124., used this UR. Saw vedio nice solve with different way. Thanks for the good puzzle from Mr. JULIAN, and good explanation.

Great job.

Coloring 12s at the end was rather obvious, and I never got seriously stuck during the solve. As usual, the earlier advanced positions I found were superfluous except to limit corner digits to only three in a block.

[@SmartHobbies]

Nice job John. I am glad to hear you found the coloring rather easily.

Done Found the same pairs except for the quad which u found in row 3 , instead I found the 128 triple with 12 pair and single 8 in box 2 while filling row 2 and block 2. The 8 at R2C6 solves the 89 pair in block 1. Instead of 12 remote pairs I used UR s to solve 24,24, 24 and 124 where R9C5 gets solved as #1.

Awesome. I love that you found the UR and 128 triple. Thank you for sharing!

17:26 Whoooooaaaaa!!!! I solved it alone!! Happy happy 🎉🎉🎉 I solved the same as you. Some pencilmarks, the 56 pairs then the 1239 quadruple (that I was suuuper happy to find). And at the end with the 12 pairs it was exactly the same as you!!!! 😀😀😀 Thank you! 😁

[@SmartHobbies]

Woohoo! 🎉 So glad to hear that.

After some embarrassing bifurcation (I missed the naked quad!) I came down to the same endgame. I thought of the 12's as an XY-chain and got to the same place.

[@SmartHobbies]

XY-Chain! Yes, it is that as well. Thank you for sharing.

I used the 12, 13, 23 Y-Wing to remove the 3 from R8C8

[@SmartHobbies]

Awesome. Nice find. Thank you for sharing.

[@SmartHobbies]

You got it Roger!

That really threw me for a loop too. I tried this puzzle yesterday and gave up in disgust when I saw that. Now that I calmed down, I'm trying again today.
