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.

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!

[@SudokuGuy]

Great to hear! Hang in there. Practice helps you to improve.

I'v got a lot to learn, but this puzzle I managed to solve completely without any difficulties. I just used top, centre, bottom, and left, centre, right. And that's it. 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.

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.

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. If you have a good knowlge you will often find what you missed later.

At 12:30 how did you suddenly arrive at "this is the only place a 7 can go"? I can't see the entire board unfortunately so may be missing something. You normally explain everything quite thoroughly so I was a mite puzzled.

wouldnt you cleaver at 20:54 also be an X Wing in the columns meaning the 2 in the rows would be deleted leaving only the same 2 in the handle section?in effect wont a cleaver always be a x wing?

[@axemanfink3228]

it was picked up as a xwing just wondering if one specifically must look for this versus normal x wing procedure. meaning cross in the columns/ rows eliminate in the rows/columns

[@SudokuGuy]

Hi Axeman, I'm sorry it is not an x wing. Even if it was there are no 2's in the columns or the rows to remove..So glad you found my site."the most popular site on line to learn sudoku" Please share with others, subscribe and click the bell by the subscribe button.

[@malekyamout3265]

I didn't really understand the part at 12:03 . What do the numbers in the row have to do with the numbers in column 8?

[@SudokuGuy]

If you are referring to row 7 you can only put a 5,7 in column 8 because in row 7 there is already a 1,2 Hope this helps.

at 12:27, how did you decide only a 7 can go into cell [7, 8]?

[@TomJones-tx7pb]

One thing that is interesting about Sudoku is that you can switch 2 rows or 2 columns that share a box and still have the same puzzle to solve, as all the interactions are preserved. Thus what you call a cleaver and what you call a mallet are the same thing.

[@SudokuGuy]

Good Point. thanks for sharing.

it would be great if you could please explain what your doing

[@SudokuGuy]

[@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.

Excellent It is possible but very very rare. In 7 yrs it has only happened to me once. Check you puzzle to see if you have repeated a number anywhere . A true puzzle should only have one answer.

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.
