				| I used a rather long simple coloring chain on 8 and a Type1 UR on 35. |

				SS8 R69 solves R5C1 as 5.
 
46 W-wing solves it by removing 4 in R7C1.

				Two steps here also.
 
 
HP26[(26)r78c6 = (8)r7c6]r78c6 - r7c13 = r9c1 - (8=5)r5c1 - r6c2 = r6c45 - (5=2)r4c4; r4c6<>2
 
Type 1 UR 35 r67c45 forces r7c5=8

<35> UR in r67c45 implies r67c5=8 or r7c4=2
 
 
r67c5=8 => r9c5<>8
 
r7c4=2, r8c6=6, r7c6=8 => r9c5<>8
 
 
Singles follow. |

				Danny,
 
 
That's pretty sweet, isn't it!
 
 
In the solution I posted, I decided to stay away from Uniqueness arguments.  Not that there's anything wrong with that (Seinfeld).

Yes    
 
 
It's particularly impressive because I found it myself and not my solver.
 
 
I can still recall the time I encountered your post on URs ... and I could not get the principle through my thick skull. Now, I have a solver that catches many UR patterns ... just not the one I found here.
 
 
Regards, Danny |
