My hope faded quickly, I didn't spot anything that I probably should've to get me to a quicker time, I sort of just did it in my head like I do with classics, and I got stumped for about 45 seconds trying to disambiguate a string that I mistakenly added a number to that shouldn't have been there!

    Solved in 14:01. I marked all the cells that could be a 5, by trying all three possibilities in block 3, we can know in all three scenario, R3C5 is not a 5 => pointing pair in block 2, R6C4 also not a 5. For 1, also marked in color, then we can see that if R2C5 is 1, then no place to put a 1 in block 5.=>R1C4=1 R6C4=7 R3C4=5, then the puzzle will fall apart.

When 3 Spaces are missing in a Box or a Row, I Think, What Are the missing Numbers Then see if 2 are in 2 Rows, If So, it Goes in the 3rd Spot, Also Look Not Only Which it Could Be, But What it Can't Be, Works Pretty Good, Trying not to use the Little Numbers in Boxes,
    I Noticed The Numbers Seem to Pair Up, Except the're are 9 Numbers?

    Jesus is the answer. Whoever is reading this you may feel lost in life; you may feel like giving up, wishing it would all end. You want peace, but can’t find it. You’ve looked for it in women, drugs, alcohol, porn, money, and so much more, but you feel emptier the more you do it. The only one who can fill us is Jesus Christ, the living God; the one who came into this world as a man and died on the cross to save us from our sins (our wrongdoings against God). If you trust in Christ as your Lord and Savior you will be saved and you will go to Heaven when you die. One thing many people think once they come to God is everything will be perfect. The truth is it won’t be. Once you give your life to Christ the devil will attack you over and over again until you break, but Christ is there to strengthen you and to get you through all things. Give your life to Christ my friends. Without him, life means nothing.

    5+6+6=17 given clues, putting the puzzle at an advanced level, yet not so ’extreme’ as claimed. Of the clues, 489 are singles, 2367 are doubles, three sets of [15] coupled pairs,on cols 1&6 and on row7.
    Before we kick off the preliminary sweep across the whole board, with eyes wide open, we should spot a few immediate takeaways :
    7 on c1@(11), (=>6 on c1 B7), 3 in B8@(84) to be followed immediately by 7@(95)=> [68] tcp on r7B8 between cols 5&6, leaving 9@(74)(which can actually be pinpointed by direct point counting and that’s a hidden 9 for u) => in hot pursuit, 4@(44) (two ways of going abt it : by eliminating 3&9 from cell(44) = [349] by hard count OR by visual spotting : [715] given on r4 being off c4 are to occupy the remaining three open cells outside of (44) on c4, leaving 4 @(44). (A lot of novice may miss this but no harm done it will show up eventually)
    Now here comes the takeaway for the trained eyes, the three pairs of [15] given on c1,c6 and r4 , all cutting off r5 ===> [15] cp(conjugate pairs) on r5 @ P(53)&Q(55)!,leaving 2 splt on r5 @(51))&(56).
    Now scanning for splits across the board:
    Being the majority clues we start with 1&5 :
    1 split in B2@(14)&(24), this will prove critical, split on r1,r7,c2&c8.
    5 split on r1&r7. (That’s all)
    Now note! 1&5 share same cells on r1 at R(14) and on r7 @ S(73).
    A million dollar question : are the cells exclusive of the other candidates? Answer is a resounding yes!
    Here’s why: 1&5 not at R => 1@(19)&5@(17) ==> both on r7 at S, a No-no! So R=[15].
    By same reasoning, we have S=[15] => 2 split on r7 @(71)&(79).
    Now we have [15] cp on c3 @ P&S=> [15] cp in B4 @ P&T(62) (hopefully it’s obvious to u).
    Now the split of 1 in B2 comes to play!
    Claim: whether 1 is in B2, it always lead to 1@P!
    Obvious if 1@(25).
    Next 1 @R => 5 on r1@(17) => 5 on r7@S => 1@P!
    There are other ways to prove 1@P : whether 5 is on r1 , it always lead to 1 @P; likewise for 5 on r7; OR proof by contradiction: 5@P would lead to 5@(17)&(77), a No-no! two 5s on same c7 , or => 1&(24) ==> Q= Zero!
    However there’s a better and prettier approach (and without the help of 5) :
    1 forms a closed loop by
    starting from (24) B2=> 1@ P => 1 on r7 @(79) and ending on r1 @ R, a No-no.
    Therefore 1 in B2 is at R => 5@(17) and 1 on c9@(79) => 5@ S and 1@P and so forth.
    There is a technical term in Sudoku bag of tricks to describe what we have been going through: XY wing.
    Now we can with confidence declare the rest is history!
    Try to do it on your own effort , but if u get stuck at any step,then take a peek at what follows up.
    First we proceed to complete all the 1s and 5s and helping to pick up other candidates along the way:
    So 1@P => 1 on c2@(92), 5@QT&S => 1@(79)=>1 on r1@R => 5 on c4@(34), by virtue of 5 given inB8,on r4,and uncovered @T , all three off c4,to be followed by 7 on c4@(64), whereby leaving 4 on c4 @(44) (as promised it will show up if u fail to spot it earlier),and also => 5 on r1 @(17) => together with 2 given on c7,and 2&5 given on r9 , both outside of B9, [25] tcp on r8B9 bet cols 8&9 => 2@(89) which with 1 uncovered @(79), and in tandem with [12] given on c7, both outside of B3 => [12] tcp on c8B3.
    Now 1 uncovered @(79) => 2 on r7@(71), by virtue of 2 given @(67) off r7 => in hot pursuit 2 in B7 @(42) by cc with the 2 given on r6 outside of B7 and 2 on r5@56) => 2 on r1@(13) (CIY) => with 6 given on c2 off r1 => 6 on r1@(19), leaving 2&8 cp on r 1@(12)&(16).
    Also 2 uncovered @(71) leaves 4 on r7@(77). Note [25] uncovered tcp on r8B9 leads to 7 on r8@(87) which together with 4 uncovered @(77) => [47] tcp on c9B3, leaving [38]tcp on c7B3 bet rows 2&3.
    Note 6 uncovered on r1@(19) B3 is off c7 and in tandem with 6 given on r5 also off c7 => 6 on c7@(97), leaving 9 on c7@(57) => 7 on r5@(58), leaving [46] tcp on c8B6 bet rows 4&6 => with 4 uncovered @(44), [16] tcp in B5 on r6 bet cols 5&6, leaving [39] tcp r4B5 ==> together with the [39] uncovered on r5, [39] tcp on r6B7 bet cols 1&3, leaving [48] tcp on c1B4 bet rows 4&5.
    Now we return to Bottom Block : 2@(71) => [34] tcp on r9B7 bet cols 1&3 => 6 on c1&(81) leaving [89] tcp on r8B7 bet rows 2&3.

    This puzzle has 5+6+6=17 clues, putting itself on an advanced level,(but not quite as extreme as claimed,to me ‘extreme’ means use of brutal,monster,steamroller kind of force, but this is not so here,as u will see)with three given singletons 489(indeed two immediately obvious hiddens : 9@(74)by point counting 😮 &3 in Box 8@(84) by cc(crisscrossing)of the two 3 given on c5&r7 outside of B8,followed by 7@(95)B8,by virtue of 7 given on r7 outside of B8 (indeed one should able to see right away without hesitation that by virtue of 7&3 given on r7 outside of B8, [37] cp in B8 @(84)&(95))=> [68] tcp on r7B8 between cols 5&6,by virtue of [68] given on c4 outside of B8,thereby leaving 9 in B8@(74) and together with 3@(84)=>(44)=[4]by point counting or by another way of looking at it, 715 given on r4 off c4 have to occupy the other three open cells left on c4 =>4@(44). Btw, we have 3 on r9B7, 7 on r8B9 and 4on c6B2.
    And two of given 2367.
    Three given1& 5.
    There is another immediate visual takeaway, viz[15] cp on r5 @ P(53)&Q(55), by virtue of [15] given in B6 and on cols 1&6, all three off r5!! => 2 split on r7.
    Now time for the preliminary sweep across the grid looking for splits in boxes , on rows and columns and hopefully more hiddens:
    Right away,with 7 given in Boxes 4&5, both off c1, 7 @(11).
    Indeed it’s the distribution of 1&5 that demands our attention :
    1 & 5 have splits on r1,(I assume u have a way to pencil mark splits on rows and columns,without using the Arabic numerals which are reserved for splits in Boxes. For this purpose l am using the Chinese numerals: 一二三四五 六七八九),on c2,r7,c8.
    1 is split in B2.
    Observe that 5&7 occupy the same two cells(14)&(73),but we can’t say at this stage for sure they are exclusive from other digits (however eventually it will be proven the case)
    To a trained eye the intertwining of 1&5 deserves our attention.
    There are several ways of attack: one is to show (inspired by the fact that 5 forms a fractured wing along r1&r7 with pivot on c7),whether 5 is on r7,it always leads to 5 on r5@Q with the help of 1 (CIY=check it yourself).
    OR by contradiction, 5@P would lead to 5 on r7@(77)=>5 on r1@(14)=>1 in B2@(25)by cc of the two 1s outside of B2,one on r3&the other on c6 => Q=ZERO!! Therefore 5 on r5 has to be at Q! and 1@P.
    At this stage 1 uncovered at P proves to be the breakthrough,the closure we are looking for.
    Try for yourself. It will be fun. No more inductive but purely deductive logic will take u thru.
    Here’s for the ‘novice’:
    So 1@P=>1 on r7@(79)&on c2@(92)=> 1 on c8@(28)=> on r1@(14)&c5@(65),completing all 1s in the grid.
    Now 1@(14)=> 5 on r1@(17)(here’s where 5 kicks in)=>5 on r3@(35) ,5 on r7@(73) and 5 on c8@(88)=>5 on c2@(62),completing all 5s in the grid.
    Now 5@(34)=>7 on c4@(64) ,thus leaving 4 on c4@(44)(we however have known that).
    Looking at B9, with 1&5 uncovered where they are , 2 in B9@(89) by the cc of the 2s given on r9&c7 outside B9(see how their strategic positions come into play)=>2 on c8@(38) .Now looking at row7, with 1&5 uncovered on r7,we have 2 given at (67) off r7=> 2 on r7@(71),leaving 4 on r7@(77) and 2 on r5@(56),plus 2 in B4@(42)by cc with 2 given at (67)=> 2 on c5@(25) and on r1@(13)[CIY],completing all 2s in the grid.
    Note in passing,7 on r8 is at (87)=>with the 4@(77), [47] tcp on c9B3, leaving [38] tcp on c7B3, and 6 on c7@(97),by virtue of 6 given on r5 off c7,thereby leaving 9 on c7@(57) and [98] tcp on r9B9 => with 9 given @(18),[38] tcp on c9B6=> 7 on r5@(58),leaving [64] tcp on c8B6 bet rows 4&6, as anticipated by [46] already uncovered on r5, and on c7&c9,all outside of B6 => with 4@(44), 6 in B5@(66), leaving [39] tcp on r4B5 bet cols5&6 => [39] tcp on r6B4 (hope u can see it how), leaving [48] tcp on c1B4.
    Also in hot pursuit, 3 given @(15)=> 9@(45) and with 7 uncovered @(95) =>[79] tcp on c6B2, leaving [28] tcp on c5B2.
    Now with 6&9 uncovered in B9 on r9, off c1=> 6 on c1@(81) followed by 9 on c1@(61),leaving 3 on c1@(91) , resulting in [89] tcp on r8B7 bet cols 2&3, and [14] tcp on r9B7 bet the same two cols => [34] tcp on c2B1 and [69] tcp on c3B1 bet rows 2&3 [CIY, a good practice for novice].
    Whoa! We are practically done.
    Can u visualize how those tcps in the bottom and middle horizontal Blocks are broken down?
    Those six chains of tcp between rows 2&3 are to be broken up by the two ’danglars’ 6@(24)&2@(38).
    The end result of the puzzle looks pretty graphic,ain’t it? That’s why sudoku is described as a visual art

    I was stuck at that same exact part for at least 3 day. I looked at it with all candidates, no candidates, everything. I eventually started messing with the 5 candidates in box 7 and discovered the 5 must go in cell 2F and that pretty much broke the puzzle. This has to be the hardest sudoku ive ever tried.

  • @robertjohnson4401
    @robertjohnson4401 3 месяца назад

    Your method includes looking many moves ahead like an advanced chess player. This is the first time I saw that method. This is equivalent to using the guess method when there are only two possibilities in a cell. But to do this mentally is a special talent. By doing this, you were somehow able to figure out turning a 1 5 possibility into a 15 pair. That seemed magical. I also see that you had no objection to having more than two possibilities in one cell. Some other advanced solvers snub their nose on this. But it seems to be a helpful method.

    • @StroSolves
      @StroSolves  3 месяца назад

      I know some people don't like to put more than 2 possibilities in a cell, and it really depends for me. There definitely can be diminishing returns as you put more pencil marks in. Sometimes you just clutter the grid and make it harder to see things, but other times it can be helpful.

    There's actually only one option for the one in box two. The other one is clearly unavailable. After this, the puzzle practically solves itself.

    • @StroSolves
      @StroSolves  6 месяцев назад

    • @StroSolves
      @StroSolves  8 месяцев назад

      I guess that depends which 1 you're talking about. Row 1 Col 4 was because of the 5 and 7 below, and the other two 1s (Row 5 Col 3 and Row 6 Col 5) were because of the previous work I had done finding the 15 cells that had to be the same (hence the coloring).

    Nice puzzle and solve. I solved it in 13:43.
    For the break-in I found a finned swordfish on 1s in columns 2, 4, and 8, with the fin being the cell r2c8. This eliminates 1 from r1c9 (either the swordfish or the fin), limiting 1s to row 2 in box 3, which places 1 in r1c5, which you also found.
