Tutorial 58. Hard sudoku puzzle with lots of techniques.

[@averilnorton8093]

I'm a 72yo old maori fella, in New Zealand, who never reached the dizzying heights of University or Trade Certificated greatness, but I feel like an absolute scholar now I've learnt how to totally DEMOLISH HARD SUDOKU puzzles, thanks to you, Sudoku Guy. I've been keen on Sudokus for many years but I've been limited to solving the easy puzzles, maybe a few mediums, in our local Christchurch Press paper. But now, after following your excellent tutoring, I'm a champion. Thank you heaps, Sudoku Guy, I'm very happy to have known you. No other person teaches Sudoku as good as you. I KNOW, because I've tried them ALL.

Gee Averil You have "made my day" all the best as you continue to learn and practice.

I studied your expert level sudoku several times in the past, but now I understand it better than that, thanks to your excellent way of teaching. That your favourite Cleaver and Mallet techniques can, at times, work wonders have been amply demonstrated here. All other much acclaimed techniques, I presume, could not make any headway to solve this particular puzzle. It's a very good experience for a learner like me. Kudos to you for that!

There are lots and lots of puzzles where I get stuck, and have to give up, so I'm going to go through the lot of your lectures, and hopefully learn what to do when I get stuck.

Then watched how you did the rest and it was similar to the way I manged to complete it. I learned a few lessons on this video. Thanks. Maybe I can do more of the hard ones that I still haven't figured out how to complete (in my pocket Sudoku book). Fifteen more to do (out of 124).

Thanks to you i have ordered a Will Shorts Sudoku book. So excited for it to get here this weekend. Also, i was able to solve this puzzle before watching. I have decided to really jump in, work the puzzle you post so when you are teaching, i can learn the technique when i actually need it so the lesson sticks. If i solve the puzzle, i will sit and just listen and watch you work through it. I really enjoyed working this one. What you call a Mallet i called a double double 😊 so its good to know the right name for it for learning.

Thanks. Kandi. I use terms which I hope will help people spot patterns.

At 12:32, what was the reason for saying that the 5/7 could only be a 7? I must have missed something, but don't know what it was.

[@SudokuGuy]

a seven cannot fo in block 6 because ther is a 7 in that block and a 7 cannot go where ther is a matching pair. A matching pair cannot have any other numbers put in tose cells., acuase only the numbers of the matching pair can go there. Hope this helps Peter.

26:29 Sir, at this time you removed 8. How did you find the number 1 while it could be in the other column?

[@SudokuGuy]

Good question Row 1 has 4 empty cells 1,6,8,9. Only 1 and 8 can go in column 4 cell 1 becaus in column 4 you already have a 6 and a 9. Therfore only 1/8 can go in cell 4 row 1 .In row 1 there is already an 8 in cell 3 thus the cell 4 has to be 1. Hope this helps.

[@SudokuGuy]

Because in column#4 therre are only 3 empty cells 1, 2 and 8, but in the top row there is a 2 and an 8. already thus the 1 has to go where I put it. Good question.

Well, a few mistakes, but that is how it goes. When you are going to do it yourself, mistakes will be present, so it is very nice to see how you handle them. 😃 I really enjoy your neat and cosy videos, your way of teaching is great. Last but not least, I have to challenge you, as I think you made another by yourself unnoticed mistake, but luckily you put the right number in the right square (there were two possible squares) as things evolved and the puzzle came out as a perfect solution. Can you spot it??? Look forward for more videos. Have a great day! Greetings from a sunny Sweden! ☀️☀️☀️

[@SudokuGuy]

Thanks Johan, It is easy to miss something particularly in harder puzzles. e.g. It is easy to forget to look both ways for a ramification.

4:48 I solve them using this method only, takes me a long time but it's because the puzzles I do are very hard, this puzzle seems ok because almost every block has at least three numbers already filled, really hard puzzles have only two numbers per block filled.

[@francespotter7697]

Hi Robin. I'm not yet confident about the significance of the "little numbers" when you get some way down the track. How can you be sure they are the only correct option when they're NOT part of a matching pair, but you eliminate one number? Can you always accept that knocking out one of them means the other must be correct? If so is this because you only write them down when there are only two places those numbers can go? I am never sure that there aren't other possible numbers that I haven't written in when they're not a "matching pair". Fried brain now but I will keep thinking!

[@SudokuGuy]

Yes you can alway assume that if you have matching pairs then if one becomes a big number , the other number in the matching pair will also be a big number.

I don't understand. Sorry. Study the lesson on the cleaver pattern. If 2 can only go in those 2 cells there is no point in putting a 1 or any other small number there. Later a 1 could go in one of the cells. Look ahead and see if this is the case.

[@seldikster]

Seems nobody has been aware of the following. While I was doing the sudoku (before watching your explanation) I discovered two ways of finishing it. One way: just exactly as you did. Second way: there is a Unique Rectangle pattern (Danger danger). Well, you have a matching pair of (34) in box 9. These are the rectangle's lower corners. Then, you have another 34-cell as the rectangle's upper left corner (box 6, column 7). So you, inmediately, check for the upper right rectangle's corner-cell and this is..."345". Therefore, in order to avoid the "forbidden pattern", this cell must be a 5. And this placement solves up the puzzle as well. I was wondering which way you'd choose. Well, that was a nice sudoku!

At about 12:30 you say the box with 5 and 7 is the only place a 7 can go . Perhaps you should have explained that . The reasoning behind that is interesting . Great videos , very helpful.

[@SudokuGuy]

Because in column 8 a 7 cannot go in block 6 because there is a 7 in that block already and you cannot put a 7 in column 8 block 3 because there is amatching pair in there that means no other number can go there except a 3 or 8.
