Triples: the Single Most Important Sudoku technique?

Easy.

If it was that hard for you through the middle of the puzzle, not sure I should attempt it. Half the stuff you found I would not have (found). Watching this hurt my brain.

I thought that I would learn something new, but your methods are exactly the same as mine.

"easy stuff"?? 😳
I must be the world's worst Sudoku player then. The speed with which he was throwing down numbers flummoxed me from the get go.
I'm off to find an easier channel for blockheads like me.

8!

Thanks

Thank you for mixing in the occasional instructional video. It's very helpful.

Sorry, explain too fast and the accent it hard to understand. But thanks .

Simon at least tells you why numbers go where. This is just watching him solve it without much to learn. Auto-pass

but you never explained what triples are and why they work....

I love that I got some things quicker than he did!

Thank you.

Brilliant if you understand what the man is talking about, you have to concentrate on what he is saying. I will start beating my wife now for sure on the hard ones.

The triples confused me. I wish you would slow down a bit when you are applying a rule instead of just filling in the numbers and saying what you are doing. Explain what you are doing please.

i always have a hard time finding triples so before watching mark, i proceeded to solve this puzzle. that 1/9 pair was very easy to find without the 356 triple and it set up the 3/6 pair in column 1. from there i needed nothing but pairs to solve this puzzle. got to find a harder puzzle that could only be solved by triples.

Very nice

Not enough gentle instruction

68 in middle row. Finally

Great video. I'm basically self-taught on Sudoku. The basic techniques seem really obvious, right? Still, I sometimes have had to resort to trial and error because I can never remember the advanced techniques, such as X wing. Your way of starting with only the isolated numbers was very useful. It took me two restarts, but I got it on my own, but that one simple way of starting really helps.

Cheers

Im here cause i love his accent

I don’t find these videos very educational actually. I can see him moving around the playing field and filling in numbers but he does not describe his thought process very much. He does some. But not that much. e.g. “I just noticed this square can have only a 36”… I get that is true once you spot it but what led you to ask about it in the first place? This is just an example.

Took me over 80 minutes on my own, but then came back to watch the under 20 minute solution (just to check). So fast! 😮😮😮

Every time I thought I'd cracked it, and found my way in, I got waylaid again. This was a tough one.

The kind that really makes you think.

Why is Simon so much easier to watch?

I'm guessing we had to have Mark do this puzzle so that we didn't hear Simon singing twice during the solve? =D On a serious note, I love watching your minds work, as they unravel the web of logic! Keep up the great videos!!

triples are safest

I can't believe you are so slow, I use only a Biro no computer

That puzzle was a tough one!

Please make more classic Sudoku puzzle videos!

How do you finish a puzzle when all remaining squares have two candidates? I have 16 remaining squares all with only 2 candidates and can progress? 😮

Good evening, Can we succeed a Sudoku of all levels without detecting hidden triplets ?, I have trouble recognizing some of them, at least for the hidden ones.

Amazing!

done

How do triples help? My solver was able to solve it using only naked and hidden singles and pairs. Its first 2 deductions were R3's 1 and 9 are at R3C1 R3C5, and C1's 3 and 6 are at R1C1 R4C1 (hidden pairs).

have a difficult time to follow ... not clear explanation ... may be just my level of skills?
