How to Solve Sudoku Puzzles : X-Wing Strategy in Sudoku

[joetackytoes]

This video is worthless because he does'nt explain how he gets the ( 8 ) value in the 9th column at the top.

[mikeknight42]

lol rage ... pause the screen and get over yourself (or just buy easy books)

[MakeSmartMakeUp]

this doesnt help at all

[TheONLYoneRULEZ]

MAN.. IF YOU THINK UR PRO, WHY DONT U JOIN THE COMPETITION AND WIN THE 1ST PRIZE

ANYWAY, THANKS FOR WASTING MY TIME

[MillionaireSudoku]

Good technique. Works very well for novices. I wonder how well this technique would help a contestant in a gameshow format? Could you quickly utilize these principles in a pressure or timed scenario.

[babyjoker1360]

wwtf i still dont understand how to play sodoku

[ytknix]

not that i'm already familiar with the strategy/technique, but i think he explained it just right. no disrespect to anyone.

[saberking1992]

fuck!!! if this is a six! this one on the other board is a 10!

[Addam3000]

Holy shit!!!!

People,never make a vid with your mind,because he is actually thinking and no explaining

[shitfuck74]

Ive never written a coment. Ever! But you are so bad at explaining things I was compelled to write my first one here. So let me tell you in terms you might understand. "There is too much entropy in the information displayed here." In other words, "you s*ck!!!!!"

[TomBrooklyn]

I followed that because I'm already familiar with X-Wing. If I wasn't, I wouldn't have been able to follow what he said.  He left some important information out or glossed over it.

[OldChikity]

Nice expert village has amatuers or rookies giving fail tips

[mmartinianoo]

esy just download google goggleson your android phone and revelve it in seconds

[147569238]

The numbers on your board are not visible. Your presentation looks interesting but i can't follow you because I can't see the numbers!

[gaiagale]

Clever! ...simple yet clearly articulated

...dare I say ...many of these comments are rather oddly oriented considering the fact that you are sharing freely your understand of helpful hints for playing a GAME

thanks for making the effort to share

Respect!

Do the empty squares have been to be positioned as a square, and do they have to be that many squares apart?

[woodchuk123]

@themattyj94 The 4 squares involved will be in the same two rows and columns, so yes, they will form a square themselves. If a certain candidate is only found in two possible squares in a row, and a different row of the puzzle has the same candidate in exactly the same two columns, and only those two, they form a square, and the candidate in question can be removed from all other squares in those two columns. The reverse logic also applies - interchange the words "column" and "row" above.

[woodchuk123]

@themattyj94 They don't have to be that many squares apart though - the important thing is that there are 4 squares - 2 in each of 2 columns and rows, thus forming the 4 corners of a square or rectangle themselves. If one value of an X-Wing is solved, the square diagonally across from it in the rectangle can be filled with the same value.

[scott01019]

yap makes perfect sense when you already understand it ;)

[gobunny1234]

This guy gives me a headache...WTF man...

[StreetbeatzAgentur]

ahhhhh, alright *:-(???*

[markthurst100]

my method of solving soodookoo puzzles is easy, first i slaughter a male goat. then i drain the blood from testicles onto the puzzle and the numbers fill in automagically.

[luvmuzik4me]

I know how to do an x-wing, it is probably the easiest sudoku move to understand. This is a very poor explanation.

[killsometimedude]

You talk too much..

[nikoslebronjames4e]

if this is a 6 then this is a 6 and then the other one, is a 6 also so you have this one over here which is a 6 which means this is a 6 too so practically this is a 6 as well, thus this one over here is a 6 and then 6 MY ASS MOTHERFUCKER

[ebendoly]

Also see Pleuroku (Sudoku + Minesweeper) - Free through the "Excel Blackbelts" group on LinkedIn

[FelixFelisis]

I like the way he says "sudookoo". so the 6 goes here and then the 6 goes there but then if you look back at the first 6 you'll see that the 6 actually goes over to the 6 and then 6 to the 6 in these 6's all cancel out the rest of the 6's 6's, therefore they all must be 6's unless there happens to be another 6 there so then we can't use the 6 because there's already several 6's here and there, including that one by the 6 thats in my cool hairdo.

[sukablianah2]

@FelixFelisis lol

[lee155912000]

Maybe if you played sudoku you would understand what he's saying. It made sense to me.

[pokerinvest]

pathetic explanation

[blossomgal3000]

i dun understand anything this freak is saying

[her2death]

You know my strategy? i just get a puzzle look at it for a moment and wait for it to do itself.

[wiltonserenity]

huh.......?

[chrisofnottingham]

"These go to eleven" -  Nigel Tufnel, Spinal Tap

[6WildThing6]

hahahaha

here is what he is saying

so if this is a six ... if this is a six ... if this here is six ... then ... if six is here .... so if six were here that would be a six ... which means .... this ... if this is a six ... this is also a six ...

hahahahahh

[theoldstylefailures]

what the hell with this guy,..,i didnt understand how you know if it is 6 or 4 in the x patter,.,.it can be 8and 4.,.,shit

[SlowPoke3111]

Yeaaaah..... I'll just use the 'guess strategy'.

[kaliyarivet]

Yeah! You tell him!

[lm2Last]

I just forgot how to play Sudoku all over again by watching this video.

[Bearfriend680]

ugggghhhhhhh

[Sonyboy943]

un das soll einer verstehen ????

[ramomar15]

he has tourettes, but instead of saying cuss words he says "66666666666666666666666666666­6 and to the 66 and 6 so 6 is up my 6th ass and 6 goes on for 6 years and 6......" lol

[johncamara66]

ok really at 1:08 the six is one aquere abore the x is crooked

[gfindlayshirras]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH

[CameraGirl4AGdolls]

[omgreally2]

[PortableRainbow]

[oblanob]

[541flanigan]

See Aliens communicating through suduku on YouTube

[rulersmg1]

i kinda get it  but it looks kinda difficult

[finecutpost]

This would have worked so much better as a close up of the cells Its hard to see what the numbers are

[Finstahy]

this makes no sense.......

[crunk001]

i can assure you: with this explanation 1% of the viewers understood 50%

[nbeyer7]

duh

[SudokuSecrets]

alwasy walk away when you get frustrated and come back to the puzzle,  sudoku isnt rocket science it just needs to be explinied properly

[crunk001]

yea.. same

[rottenralph73]

Why not try to explain it other than "this goes here because this cant go here and then it goes here because this goes here and cant be here."

[DarkD11]

He dropped half of the reasoning behind that strategy.... the idea is that after you create that pattern, you can pretend that all 4 corners of the x-wing have 6's in them, allowing you to rule out said rows and columns from having 6's..

He gave you the framework but he DID NOT tell you why it is a good strategy.

[gerrycorreoo]

I didn't understand anything :-(

[KerryDoan]

@gerrycorreoo its expert village...they are good at being bad

[airwave2oo8]

probably a good strategy but the explanation is very bad

[xXAlfonssoXx]

take all the fun out of it sure

[tengusa55]

way to complicated....

[zapxlib]

If something gets too hard or confusing, divert your attention to something creative, easy and fun and come back to finish the puzzle... just so that you get to relax your mind and concentrate better.

[8GriMReapeR8]

oh ok i understood, i never got it the first time, but then i watched it again and understood it!

[bedazzled357]

This should be the new rick roll.- MimeOne

[r4knapp]

for more simple technique and not so confusing search youtube for r4knapp and it works for the most evil puzzles.

[nifrala]

Yeah, we got it. Right guys? haha

[Brooklyn418]

These videos are intended for solving hard level puzzles not for the ones you find in the newspapers so please save your stupid comments to yourselves. Also, try watching the previous videos in order to understand this one. Its like trying to make purple with red and yellow.

[valrojo]

he makes so hard to under

stand !!

[SunnyKimbre]

you make things soo much more frustrating for me... a little 13 year old. please never teach sir.

[RoC1909]

Uh....you are talking about a MASTER strategy that is used for solving the toughest puzzles. It's not something that you are going to automatically grasp in 2:06. It takes a TON of practice. I thought he explained it fairly well.

[najorz]

ddddduuuuuhhhh!??

[samuraex823]

yall dont have to be assholes if u dont like this video then watch another

[anubhavjain03]

not explained well.

[stuntmanx416]

Small numbers stand for possibilities of that square :D.

After a while eliminating other squares, you will know exactly what to put in those possibilities ^^!.
