I see that the (contraversial?) technique for downloading puzzles in advance has been blocked. I'd like to say that I find this a bit ridiculous. I can't be the only person who uses this site who spen ... |

I agree. At one point I could do the VH puzzles 75% of the time. Then that changed, I couldn't do them at all. Not having time to follow up the Wings etc. I stopped doing them. A week off in lovely pe ... |

Thanks Marty. I understand that other people use more advanced techniques, just wondering how many I had to know to do them. It is starting to come together, at last........ |

There is an X-Wing on 6 (R1 C4) (R1 C7) and (R5 C4) (R5 C7). This eliminates the 6 in (R2 C7)

Hi
The recent decision to make the Hard and Very Hard puzzles more difficult has made me go away and read up on the X wing etc. It's rekindled my interest in Sudoku. I'm wondering, are there any mo ... |

I nearly got stuck here as well. In the end it needed three X wings to eliminate enough candidates to solve the puzzle. So...look for X wings |
