That is cool. I love that you check out the puzzles. I usually let the video play if on a laptop while I solve, to see if I can beat the video 😏 Which puzzle gave you the most trouble?

@@SmartHobbies I think the 2nd. 3rd was super easy. I'm not good enough at recognizing the advanced strategies to ever really beat the times. Plus there's a lot of diabolical strategies that I've never tried to learn yet. I don't solve while watching vids, since there's a lot of strategies that I haven't tried to learn yet. So I listen to the reasoning.

@@mrDingleberry44 nice insight. Whenever you are ready to go down the diabolical path, I have plenty of tutorials to choose from. I’d recommend starting with X-Wing and Skyscraper tutorial and go from there. Happy solving.

I'll have to review the 3rd example as that's what generally trips me up when doing the various 'extreme' ??? that you find online. Example 1 & 2 I use without assigning a strategy/technique to.

@@brucewayne2091 I was watching Rangsk solve one yesterday, and there was a hidden triple right from the starting grid. Do you seem to notice them with those puzzles?

@@SmartHobbies Rangsk: unshackling? Haven't seen it yet. I generally load up any classic sudoku & play thru to the end or to a point where I get stuck. However, I'm always puzzled why a certain # is the correct pick when you see what looks like a triple mixed into a quad.

I lost a rather long comment about example 2. Sorry, I don't want to rewrite it. Hours later: I did example 1, beginning as the initial screen showed and placing the 7. Repeating the process in block 6 gave a different result, but I still placed a 7. Similar happened in blocks 2 and 8, also placing 7s. Block 3 was all bivalue cells, and gave me two triples to narrow blocks 1 and 9. Block 7 was also all bivalue cells, but no triples. Instead, it placed the 9 in row 9 and the puzzle collapsed. I saw that I'd already solved the third puzzle. 15 1/4 minutes was rather quick for me. 2:20 I remember that row from Example 2 -- in fact, the *quad* there stood out in my mind. I'd only partially fulled it out, with 458s in R7C8 and R7C9 and 4568 in R7C4. Based on a casual view of the digits facing it, I penciled in R7C6. My hunch was correct, and it was 4568. The quad gave me the 1379 quad. I didn't notice that the 9 was placeable in R7C5 until much later -- I didn't notice the 19 pair together with the 1 in block 8. 3:00 Um, why the quint and not the quad? 5:50 I don't think that I watched the video, although I did the puzzle. I would have noticed the irony of my comment about obvious things like the 123 triple. That hidden triple was "hidden in plain sight".

@@JohnRandomness105 it is interesting and understandable that you would see naked quads instead of hidden triples. For me, what and how I’m marking will usually determine which strategy I see first.
