If you are referring to the method of writing the digits in positions in the boxes and then erasing, yes, as far as I know I did come up with it myself, but I'm sure lots and lots of Sudoku and Kenken players came up with it themselves before me. It just seemed to make so much sense. Now I do it by just making dots in the positions, without writing actual numbers. Once you're used to the numbers there, the dots make it more streamlined. I'll put some vids of that up, eventually, but probably not too soon, as I've got a lot of addition and multiplication vids in the works at the moment. Happy solving! Brian James,

I just wanted to say how much I appreciate your system of KenKen notation (writing in all possile digits and erasing as you go along). I've been playing for a while, so all your strategies were familiar to me, but the notation system let me move from moderate 8-by-8's to difficult 9-by-9's overnight. Thanks! Did you come up with it?
