   I remember struggling with a particularly tricky Sudoku puzzle for days, convinced that I had missed some crucial logic somewhere. I tried every technique I had learned, filled in numbers, erased them, and even took breaks to clear my mind. When I finally gave in and checked the solution, I realized all it took was a simple logic step I hadn’t considered. The answer was right there, and it felt so anticlimactic—like all that mental gymnastics for just one overlooked digit! Definitely taught me that sometimes the simplest solutions can be the hardest to see. What about you? Any puzzles that left you feeling similarly?
