| I enjoyed the basic line/box eliminations - one led to another. Used a simple UR but then got stuck and had to resort to Remote Pairs (56). Though I bet I missed a wing or two. |

The 6-cell remote pair<56> was fairly obvious, as was the UR on<47>. I then had a kite, multi-coloring and coloring all on <5> followed by a xy-wing on <567> that deleted another <5> to kill the beast.
Ravel, a really nice puzzle. Thanks much .......

| ...Actually my beast was slain with just the UR and remote pairs. |

I worked the puzzle again with identical results except I did not need the remote pair; I must have missed a basic elimination the first time.
| Code: |
*-----------------------------------------------------------*
| 479 56 47 | 5679 5689 789 | 1 2 3 |
| 2 1 56 | 3 4 56 | 8 7 9 |
| 79 8 3 | 1279 19 279 | 5 6 4 |
|-------------------+-------------------+-------------------|
| 13 7 569 | 2569 569 239 | 4 1359 8 |
| 138 4 569 | 569 7 38 | 69 13 2 |
| 38 56 2 | 4 89 1 | 7 39 56 |
|-------------------+-------------------+-------------------|
| 5 2 8 | 1679 169 79 | 3 4 67 |
| 6 9 1 | 57 3 4 | 2 8 57 |
| 47 3 47 | 8 2 56 | 69 59 1 |
*-----------------------------------------------------------* |
We have a type 1 UR <47> in r19c13 that makes r1c1=9.
At this point, I don't see a remote pair elimination. My first time, I removed <56> from r9c9, but on my second pass those digits were removed by basics.
For me, I then completed the puzzle using a kite, multi-coloring and coloring on <5> followed by a xy-wing on <567>.
Craig, did you have different code after basics or did I miss a simple deletion?

Sorry, I chucked the puzzle - but I seem to recall a triple or two and maybe even a quad. In fact, I thought it was the basics of this puzzle that made it so exceptional.

| I never saw a remote pairs elimination. Used the Type 1, XY-Wing on 893, two ERs on 5, Skyscraper on 5, two hidden URs, and a W-Wing on 67 followed by pincer coloring on same. A fun puzzle. |
