Ed, would you like the XY chain or the ALS :twisted:

(9=3)-r6c8-(3=7)-r8c8-(7=1)-r2c2-(1=5)-r2c3-(5=9)-r3c1 -> r6c1<>9

ALS(A=[r68c8], , X=7, Z=9) -> [r6c1]<>9

PS: Mother of All Moans?

The chain thanks - more Christmassie.

OK, my turn - then back to mutilating more presents by 'wrapping' them.

1 in r9c9 -> 1 in r8c2 -> no 1 in r5c2
1 in r2c2 -> no 1 in r5c2
-> no 1 in r5c2

Strong links on 3s -> r4c1<>3

then

ALS(A=[r46c1], B=[r26c3], X=3, Z=5 -> [r3c1]<>5 8-)

Just practising

I was just practising a little on the x-files. Also did this one and thought i just share a little.
There's an easier way to crack the puzzle

Code: Select all

.------------------.------------------.------------------. 
| 8     3     2    | 69*   69*   1    | 7     4     5    | 
| 4     17    15   | 258   357   2378 | 238   6     9    | 
| 59    79    6    | 258   3457  23478| 38    1     23   | 
&#58;------------------+------------------+------------------&#58; 
| 235   6     358  | 4     1     9    | 235   3578  2378 | 
| 159   189   7    | 3     2     6    | 4     589   18   | 
| 239   4     13   | 7     8     5    | 123   39    6    | 
&#58;------------------+------------------+------------------&#58; 
| 67    5     4    | 168   367   378  | 9     2     178  | 
| 67    18    38   | 12569*5679* 27   | 15    37    4    | 
| 13    2     9    | 158   457   478  | 6     578   137  | 
'------------------'------------------'------------------'
Take this UR. 69 locked in R1C45, 9 locked in R8C45 which eliminates 6 from R8C45. This gives you the 6 in R8C1 and the 7 in R7C1. this gives you a naked pair 18 in R57C9 and the puzzle falls.
