The "X-wing" puzzle didn't need an X-wing. The 36 pair in block 7, the 689 triple in block 5, and the 124 triple in row 4 were enough to crack it (with a whole lot of claiming pairs and triples strewn around once it was in place). Now to watch to see where the X-wing was, because I certainly didn't spot it. ETA: ChatGPT lied. Which is pretty common. After all, it just strings words together in a way that makes sense. There's no real model of the facts.
There's an x-wing on 8's r7c1&7 and r9c1&7. It wasnt involved in the solve. To prove that point I kept it there from the moment it appeared (about 65% through) right until the bitter end, when I stuck a 7 in the bottom left corner to resolve it.
The speed run one I solved in 1:12 The "xywing" one I solved in 11:38 without any help. I was very happy to do so.... but it didn't have a real xy wing as you said... maybe that's the reason I could solve it 😅 Thanks 😊
I have used it to clarify certain Sudoku techniques and keep them simple. I do what it says then ask it to recheck,sometimes it is wrong. I am far from being an expert.
@SmartHobbies xyz wing which it got confused with an xy wing ..took a couple of goes to sort it It seems to be a bit of a people pleaser and was quick to agree that I was right and Hoduku was wrong.... Actually Hoduku was right!🤣
I would put the needle higher in the Medium range, and closer to Hard. I had to give up after 26 minutes (after wasting time looking for an x wing) and watch parts of the video. Learning about the second triple helped me along and I tried to finish the puzzle, but after 50+ minutes I learned I had made a mistake, so I gave up. I will try it again in a couple months or so when I forget about where the triples are.
Thank you for sharing Brad. I thought this puzzle was a bit tricky, even trickier when you realize it doesn’t contain the named strategy. Hope you do try it again.
@SmartHobbies I didn't use Chat GPT for this. I always try the puzzles before watching the videos. I'll be honest, I haven't watched this video yet. I have used Chat GPT for other things. I asked it how I might rule the world. It wasn't very useful. 🙂

Fantastic; you are a great teacher and theoretician too. Bravo. Can't wait for the next one.
Thank you very much for the kind words. 😄

You nailed it Kevin.

Thank you for sharing your times. I knew you could do the speed run lightning fast. I’m not sure what ChatGPT thought an X-Wing was…

That makes sense. What are some techniques you searched for with AI?

@ 🤣
Well you did ask for a Hard puzzle. Thousands of solutions should be hard enough....
@@annes2944 You got a point there. ❤️
X wing was in row 2 and 5 and columns 3 and 9.

Did it in 18:20. It took a while to get a breakthrough, but it didn't seem particularly difficult. Maybe I'm getting better.
I think you are. Thank you for sharing.
How often had you used ChatGPT before?

@ That is interesting that it did not know how to help you rule the world. 🌎
@@SmartHobbies Maybe it did know, but it wasn't telling.
AI ain't I
Oh yeah. Artificial Idiocy.
