Sudoku Tutorial #98 The power of triplets and matching pairs. 

Your instruction is so consistent and straightforward. I love the theming of how to find pairs and triples. Thank you Sudoku Guy!

This tutorial had one tip that will help greatly. That is that 3 numbers in 3 boxes to eliminate same numbers in other boxes in that square.

your fun tutorials also help solvers stay in touch /every so often i find an answer much faster than before which is a buzz ;i like the methological approach to keep solvers focused.

The one thing I would say as being helpful here is when you get to the point where you have all possibilities in each square, to make sure you remove all the little numbers every time you get a big number. If you have a box that only has one option left, leave it as a tiny number until you finish erasing all the little numbers that you were just working on before going to the next big number. Doing it this way, you won't miss any erases that could halt your progress later on and might lead you to having one option left in multiple boxes making it easier to complete.

Love it…..I learn SO MUCH every time! Robin, has any puzzle ever defeated you? I very much doubt it 🤔

Another great tutorial. Happy Christmas to you!

Tanks for all Robin.....merry Christmas and all of the best in the New Year

Hi Robin, thanks for posting a new video. I use all the methods you show here but I look at the puzzle as a whole instead of breaking it up 6 areas. All my puzzles only start with 17 numbers so I always use the small numbers after I laid out a foundation. I still have trouble recognizing patterns and how to use them. Let me know if you have a video on solving very difficult puzzles. Happy Holidays. PS I noticed you started and ended the video with shorts on but were wearing pants for the middle. Keep up the awesome teaching,stay safe and God bless you.

There were powerful restrictions in the grid prior to the placement of all candidates. No 1, on block 9: angled triple in cells that placed the 3 in r9c8, and from there in r7c4 and r8c1. No. 2, in column 2 a combination of 16 and 29 pairs in rows 1+8 and 2+6 respectively. With that, the final solution was easy to achieve. Neat puzzle.

That was amazing and super helpful. Thanks you

~Enjoyed....thx again.

A great puzzle!!

In tutorial #85, you made apologies for your white board still in transit. At time line 1:04 you commented you would do it again when the board arrived, because doing with a board was “a different process”. Reguardless of whether it happens or not, I think you are the best sudoku teacher on the internet. Been in Adelaide, beautiful city.

A good sudoku solving tutorial sir. Thank you 🙏

beautiful! thank you!

Great work, I learned a lot. I’m new to the Sudoku world, now I’m obsessed. ❤

Thanks from LosAngeles California

Happy Easter The Sudoku Guy! He is risen! The grave is empty! o./Oc

Thanks sir.

Straight forward and made easy, well done. Sandra 74

Love love the hat ❤

In tutorial #85, In your introduction you said that you regretted that this puzzle could not be done on a board, but that when the sudoku board arrived, you would do this puzzle again, because doing it on a computer and on paper we’re different. I would be interested in a tutorial were one puzzle was looked at from two view points. ( I remembered your comments only because I repeated #85.)

At 9:35 it's interesting to note that the position of the 7 match with the 8 and 9 forming a triplet. Which fix the 3 in box 9, 8 and 7. And seing that it shows another triplet in box 9. This is the way to avoid to fill all the grid with small numbers.

I completed it as a challenge to see if I could without your help .. must be a ez puzzle

Hi, can you recommand blog with sudoku articules about strategy and tutorials?

Mr Robin ! You are solving easy puzzles only.please take up puzzles involving strong and weak links of chain system.

How do I up load a sudoku for you help,thanks

As I was enjoying your video, I noticed that you must have changed from long pants to shorts at some point. Those darn mirrors LOL!

What about ALL the different rule sets

He coul have made that big three from looking up, not from taking the triplets away. I’m sure there’s a place for what he did and I do not understand it. But those threes were in line above.

Hi! Hello!!

i Love youu

🤣🤣🤣👍👍👍

Should be thanks.....sorry

Perfect 💋💋♥️

Dear Robin, I was shocked to see that there is now a YT channel called TheSudokuGuy. To date, it has only 9 subscribers and about thirty videos, but the output is rather prolific, and it may cause you future problems. It seems very unfair to me that YT should allow the name of a new channel to be so close to that of an existing channel, especially as it is covering much the same theme. For your sake, I hope there is something you can do to resolve the problem. _You_ are the only Sudoku Guy, and this young pretender needs to be dealt with quickly. I like today's grid. I did it in my usual higgledy-piggledy fashion without notation, but I'll still watch your solution, which is bound to be more methodical (19 = row 1 column 9): 19, 45, 65, 42, 52, 58, 87, 68, 98, 74, 81, 11, 94, 82, 16, 13, 12, 61, 24, 46, 66, 36, 34, 39, 62, 22, 43, 71, 89, 88, 79, 49, 67, 99, 97, 77, 48, 29, 28, 86, 76, 83, 91, 33, 23, 37, 27, 31, 73, 21, 44, 64. (Accidental omission resolved.) Finally, as a small Christmas gift and token of my appreciation for your effort and dedication, here's one of my grids that you might like to try. Fan 014, 24 givens, 90-degree rotational symmetry: 000000000 005200400 062400780 000080610 000103000 083040000 046001270 007009500 000000000 000000000005200400062400780000080610000103000083040000046001270007009500000000000 Tough Grade 141 Yours sincerely, Julian
