Me too. Working my way thru the lessons :)

Interesting. I knew these techniques just from practical experience but I never named them like ghosts, phantom numbers or completed segments. I find your channel on sudoku lessons to be very good.

These are great. A wonderful way of learning to focus and pattern recognition

I just want to thank you for these great lessons. I’ve been through the beginner lessons, and a couple of intermediates, and can now do medium level on the Sudoku Exchange :)

I love your lessons. I'm becoming addicted to Sudoku. I really like your presentation, and you are a great teacher.

This is illuminating for me ! Thank you .

I was lucky to find your tutorial, I just started play sudoku and I am hooked😊. What are the best apps which a beginner could use?

Complicated but it is ok. I think I can learn anything when it is clearly explained like this is. Thanks. I am a big fan.

Nice technique. Obviously if there are 3 completed segment then the block is complete; 2 completed segements in the same block mean this technique cannot be used; therefore we're looking for a single completed segment within a block. What if there is one horzontal and one vertical within the same block? Can we use this technique for each seperately? Many thanks, your pace and description are very helpful.

I just re-viewed the video and you actually show a block with a horizontal and vertical completed segment - so I take it from that the technique can be used in this case.

Should this technique be applied before or after scanning?

@LearnSomethingNewEveryDay

2 жыл бұрын

usually after, sometimes during if you see it while scanning.

So does that mean if we were trying to place a number in a block outside the block with the completed segment, and there were not already two numbers entered in that block's row (or column), then we would enter the number we are trying to place as ghost numbers? Also, should we now be entering "triplet" candidates , as you did with the number 5 in the final example? We are no longer entering ghost numbers only using Snyder notation?

@LearnSomethingNewEveryDay

As you progress to harder puzzles the Snyder notation is not always enough, and unless you can keep it in your memory, then you'll have to write in more numbers. I wrote those in for illustration purposes. Use Snyder notation at the beginning of the pencil marking process, and only pencil in more numbers when you find you need to. I will be covering matching pairs in the next lesson, and hidden pairs and triplets in a subsequent lesson, so hang on there. Ghost or phantom numbers are terms used to imagine if the numbers are placed there, then how would it affect the other cells it can see. I introduced the terminology in case you run across it elsewhere. It sounds like you are really making a lot of progress in your Sudoku journey!

Thank you, both for these wonderful lessons and for the words of encouragement.

Thank you for these lessons. I'm having a tough time wrapping my head around the completed segments. In the example you give, do the cells below the 5,9,8 need to be empty? Can you use this method when there are many filled in cells around the completed segments?

@LearnSomethingNewEveryDay

3 жыл бұрын

Hello Norm, yes you can use the technique if there are other completed segments, but the power is when you have empty cells and still you can deduce where the number goes because of the completed segment! Hope that helps. As you practice more you will understand it better, so keep practicing! Thanks for the question!

Confused here at 4:15. What about 5 & 7?

@azradiocommunicationsclubk6672

Жыл бұрын

Got it. 5 & 7 weren't on the playing field.

I'm still confused by this lesson. When you say that a 4 must be in one of the ghost cells beneath the completed segment, how do you know it can't go in any of the three vacant cells in row F, beneath the 3 & 2?

The 4 needs someplace to go in block 4 and someplace in block 5. In block 5 it can ONLY go in row F, so in block 4 it can't also go in row F, and it cant go in row E since there is a 4 there already, so it MUST go in row D column 2. The red lines show where the cells are eliminated, so the only place left is row D column 2. I hope that clarifies it?
