I'm in Australia. Thanks for your videos. I used to just do easy ones but learning techniques, spotting X-wings etc. has made a big difference and I can now do many hard ones.

This is so helpful! I feel like most tutorials just show you a simple example, and you started that way to make sure we grasp the concept, and THEN you continued to show us how to find it in a sample puzzle section and what to look for, how to spot it, etc. So helpful, thank you so much!

Fantastic technique to come handy in "Expert" level puzzle. Thanks so much for explaining the concept in your usual "fun and engrossing" simplicity.
You give a "Rule" in language form... Will be good to have it for this as well...
Can't thank you enough. Appreciations from Mumbai, India.
