The Expert's Sudoku Technique

Today we have classic sudoku for you! Well, actually, we have two classic sudokus... This video features a really clever puzzle by Sam Cappleman-Lynes that will teach you a very cool technique if you've not seen it before. For patrons of the channel on Patreon, we've also released a second video in which Simon solves a second puzzle by Sam - this puzzle was described by the UK's best ever sudoku solver (David McNeill) as "pure evil".... That video is longer than this one... You can play both Sam's puzzles at the links below: This video: https://app.crackingthecryptic.com/sudoku/t4NRrQ6rFb "Pure Evil" puzzle featured on Patreon: https://app.crackingthecryptic.com/sudoku/hJdtjppq9F Rules for both puzzles: Normal sudoku rules apply!
