The so called Impossibile one took me 13 minutes and im a total noob. 2 months only at this and my average NYT Hard is 30 minutes so I guess the LA times are easy even tho they call them expert and impossibile? 😮
@zen_art_of_guardian_sudoku I believe because I just did an old one and ended up with only 37 pairs and a few 4 candidates mixed in. I'm not sure exactly what you did to solve that one but that for me was impossible as a beginner! I did a fake pretend x wing and wound up guessing it correctly but... that's a no no! Logic baby logic!
@@calpurniabruchi5742 The 'Impossible' sudoku from the LAT often relies on XY wings. I do have a tutorial on those here: th-cam.com/video/wF3NHXp_v2c/w-d-xo.html

They tend to fluctuate over time.
