I found this puzzle very difficult. After completely profiling by row, I had identified only four values. In the end I could only solve using multiple unique rectangles with same base: 35 pair in ro ...

Darn. I see it now. I was looking the wrong way. I was counting the 3s up in R1-R3. I gue ...

checking out these 'blocking 3's' may also be a configuration to be worked before profiling

dotdot,


For me, being a few days behind, this topic title was a spoiler

My apology, I will make sure it doesn't happen again.

For me the breakthru for April 18th's puzzle was finding the 56 pairing at r2c7 and r3c7.

Finding this pair (or 'working it into existence') was both difficult and enlightening while trying to avoid ...

Debbie,

Great question. I too want to learn from this insight. Of the 15+ two-digit cells on the board, why the 37 at r1c7? Could I bypass some or all of the other 15?

Thanks to all for these dis ...

Yes - my notations are numerous. However, from the 'learnings' I am picking up on this site, that's changing. And it's exciting.

I also found the puzzle difficult. Check the impacts of the 5's, r1c9 and r9c8, on column 4. That was the breaking point for me.

Sarah and others,

Steve’s insight and/or approach I don’t have. He makes it so obvious.

I recognized it differently. In processing box 9, I saw a 56 hidden subset in c9 at r7c9 and r8c9 which cont ...
