Thanks for the puzzle again immp!
After basics: Code: | +------------------+-----------------+------------------+
| 7 3 5 | 9 4 8 | 2 6 1 |
| 148 2 p468 | 136 o567 i17* | 3478 9 n4578 |
| 1489 a68* 4689 | 136 567 2 | 3478 b38 4578 |
+------------------+-----------------+------------------+
| 3 678 2 | 5 6789 4 | 789 1 789 |
| f48 9 1 | 2 g78 3 | 6 5 e4*78 |
| 5 678 q468 | r16 6789 h17 | d34789 c38 2 |
+------------------+-----------------+------------------+
| 2 4 3 | 8 1 9 | 5 7 6 |
| j89 5 7 | 4 3 6 | 1 2 m89 |
| 6 1 k8@9 | 7 2 5 | L89 4 3 |
+------------------+-----------------+------------------+ |
Then I used the following ridiculously long chain (using pencil and paper of course!)
8*r3c2-(8=3)r3c8-r6c8=(3-4)r6c7=4*r5c9-(4=8)r5c1-[(8=7)r5c5-(7=1)r6c6-(1=7*)r2c6 -r8c1]=8@r9c3-r9c7=r8c9-(4*7*8=5)r2c9-(57*=6)r2c5-(68*=4)r2c3-(48@=6)r6c3-(6=1)r6c4 contradiction (i.e. 1r6c46) => r3c2 != 8; stte. |

I found a finned x-wing that eliminated 8 from r3c12. Basic steps thereafter. Hope I didn't make a mistake! |
