also, I solved mine in MSPaint. Standard, or is there a tool to use that isn't cheating?

I've never done one of these before, but I'm gonna try to solve it in my head




I'll let you know if that leads to anything.

I couldn't get anything. I think it's impossible.

wtf is x wing y wing.

All I do is look for numbers that don't match up anywhere else.

Pretty standard strategy once you find yourself in knip. Once you use the X-wing (Y-wing is a little more advanced/abstract), you can start a Pullman's gambit, hopefully resulting in a Clough-Mercer row. Otherwise you've got to double back to the X again and fill them all out with Benzoic sequencing.

Found this when I was googling for y wing. There's a lot of stuff, that I'd never heard of before.

This is Sudoku, not Mornington Crescent. X-wing is a totally different strategy in that game (and isn't even legal unless you're using the Jacobson Amendment of 1982, which is pretty non-standard; typically we disallow it in our home game)
