I found this puzzle difficult. I wouldn't have thought of finding the quad in R2 in order to reveal the triple. I had looked for triples all over the grid and missed that one. Thanks!
This was indeed tough. At 6:33, I used what you used before. I gridded off whatever numbers were there so at the second block top right, I figured 8 goes there
52:39 - very tough today, thanks for the walkthrough i never would have spotted that geometry... i found the 3456 quad with lots of marking and over 40 minutes of staring
Very hard. Found the single 8 in r1 and the quad in r2. Even said that looks like a quad - then didn't twig that meant there must be a 189 triple so didn't finish. I'm learning a lot (slowly). Thank you.
This one stumped me. Particularly frustrating as it hinges on spotting one thing (much like one a few weeks ago that nearly made me quit doing these) and none of the techniques I've learned did anything.
Another DNF 😢 never found that 189 triple and not sure I really understand how to look for it, I’m going to have to rewatch this one a couple times to really get it!

61 minutes! Proud of finding it...shamed for taking so long to find it! :))
Would never have found the triple in row 2. Many thanks! I am learning lots!
It's been a while since I've had this much trouble solving one!

Brilliant solve as I found it really difficult to spot the 189 triple. Well done

This took me about 37 minutes... just took forever to find that quad in row 2!
Very nice find on the 189! I don't think I would ever of found it.
This was trickier than most of the recent NYT puzzles - 17:40
Lol i got the exact same time

A tough game.Very well done.
Finding the 3 in R3C7 seems to be the key. The hidden 189 in Box 3 made the difference.
This one stumped me, medium was also hard.
16:31 to solve.
Man I never found that quad!
Great solve of a nasty puzzle. Btw, where can I get the sodoku software you use so I can also use corner and central notation? Thx

Wow that was hard.
10:50. Slow today.
11:56.. Tough one
So obnoxious, I got stuck for ages due to just missing what (in my pencil marking at that point) should have been a fairly obvious quad in r2
