Customer Reviews
Shortcuts are Z, X, C, V
I enjoy this podcast a lot! It’s very cheery and relaxing, and it’s lovely to see some of the chemistry between Mark and Simon!
From listening to episode 6…
I had assumed that the clickety clackety I hear from Simon’s keyboard meant he was using keyboard shortcuts. Now I want to know what that sound is!
If you press Z, you go into the mode of entering big numbers. V goes into the color mode, etc. You can also use the number keys to enter colors in the grid!
Learning So Much
Have just loved the podcast - it broadens the things I feel I have learned since discovering the channel last year. The insights into puzzling, setting, competing, etc. are a perfect complement to watching the solves themselves and picking up sudoku skills. Down to earth and a good laugh!
Simply enjoyable
For someone who had some interest in solving sudokus for a few years when the pandemic hit, I never thought I would be looking to YouTube to watch people solve sudokus until early this year, and I’ve become addicted, and I really enjoy the dynamic between Simon and Mark on the podcast!!!
