Video Transcript

"Hello! My name is Steve Kennedy. On behalf of Expert Village, I'm showing you tips and techniques in solving Sodoku puzzles. Our last clip here is basically guessing. When all else fails, you're basically resorted to guessing. Again, you've come as far as you possibly could with them. Obviously, not this early again, and you basically make a guess and see where it goes. You have to remember that although it's a puzzle and there's lot of logic involved, it's still a game. It's not life or death or anything so just give it a shot. What happens if this is a 1, then go for it and just keep on going. The worst thing that you can possibly do is to leave a puzzle unfinished. There's no reason for it. Just give it a shot. You'll eventually find it's answer. Use a pencil. You can start erasing them. It's not a problem at all. It is basic logic. You don't have to know a lot of arithmetic in it. Just give it a shot when all else fails. Again, this is just a game. It's not life or death so give it a shot. It'll really help with your frustration level so you won't get it up too high. Just remember it is only a game and a puzzle. Just take a guess. What happens if this is a 2? See what happens and just go from there. It'll reveal itself in time sooner rather than later. Rather than just staring and looking for the perfect solution. Just give it a shot. The best thing to do is to just attack it. Thank you for watching. I hope you found this informative and helpful. Good luck on your Sudoku puzzles. "
