      I was addicted long ago, and I may have spoke too soon. I’m still struggling with some of the difficult puzzles. Granted I’m in a dollar store sudoku book so the puzzles may be done poorly. I still have more of your videos to check out next weekend! Maybe I’ll get through these hard puzzles yet. So far all the other tips you’ve given were logic I was already using, just didn’t have a name for them. Thanks so much!

    Can the Y and Z be the same two numbers? For example pivot x=2,3,4, y= 2,4 can z also be a 24 or must it be 4,3? Second question can y and/or z have more than two numbers?

    • @SudokuGuy

      Hello Stuart. Yes they could. and generally the pivot is the only one that can have 3 numbers.

  • @jamesgoacher1606
    @jamesgoacher1606 4 года назад

    Unless I missed it you did not give the logic behind this. I prefer to take each of the cells in turn which have a coresponding number to the Pivot cell and look at the effect of making that number true and so forth. If the result shows conflict then that is NOT the number.
    It's very hard to describe somethings but JB below says it I think.
