Don't forget the pencil & paper so you don't forget the solution this time. |

I started in block H to find out wich ones of the fives is correct. Turned out to be R9C6. That gives a few other correct numbers and eliminations. My next step was to check the sixes in the same block H. Six in R7C5 leads to a complete solution.
Best with Menneske is that they always demand at least a two step solution. Thank you Keith for providing them to this site. It is more fun to take part in a discussion.

oaxen, I'm just interested: How did you determine which of the 5s were correct in box 8 (your block H)?

Finally got some time to get to this which IMO was the more difficult of the first 4 Menneske Impossibles:
Menneske Impossible 4 (ER=8.3) SSTS (post Simple Sudoku Technique Set):
Code: |
*--------------------------------------------------------------------*
| 8 3 59 | 7 4 159 | 126 125 1256 |
| 1457 147 6 | 28 28 135 | 134 157 9 |
| 2 147 579 | 6 359 1359 | 134 8 37 |
|----------------------+----------------------+----------------------|
| 13567 1267 4 | 235 23567 8 | 1269 1259 1256 |
| 1567 9 257 | 245 2567 4567 | 8 3 1256 |
| 356 268 2358 | 1 23569 3569 | 7 4 256 |
|----------------------+----------------------+----------------------|
| 46 5 137 | 349 367 2 | 139 179 8 |

| 37 278 2378 | 359 1 357 | 239 6 4 |
*--------------------------------------------------------------------* |
1. aur(14)r23c27[(7)r23c2=(3)r23c7]-(3=7)r3c9 => -7r3c3 -> np(59)r13c3: -5r2c1, -5r56c3
2. (5)r2c8=(5-3)r2c6=r2c7-grp(3)r79c7=r8c9-(3=7)r3c9 => -7r2c8 -> several singles -> lc(7)b8: -7r9c6 -> nq(1359)r1239c6 => r6c6=6 -> r6c5=9
Code: |
*--------------------------------------------------------------------*
| 8 3 59 | 7 4 159 | 126 125 1256 |
| 147 147 6 | 28 28 135 | 134 15 9 |
| 2 14 59 | 6 35 1359 | 134 8 7 |
|----------------------+----------------------+----------------------|

| 1567 9 27 | 245 257 47 | 8 3 1256 |
| 35 28 238 | 1 9 6 | 7 4 25 |
|----------------------+----------------------+----------------------|
| 46 5 13 | 349 36 2 | 19 7 8 |
| 9 46 12 | 48 678 47 | 5 12 3 |
| 37 278 2378 | 359 1 35 | 29 6 4 |
*--------------------------------------------------------------------* |
3. aur(28)r69c23[(3)r6c3=(2)r9c7]-r8c8=(2-1)r8c3=(1)r7c3 => -3r7c3

I checked them both simultaneously. I guess that is the meaning with Sudoko. Find some favourable bivalues and work further from them. Rather soon one find that in the both cases one or more boxes have the same values - and after that it is normal to go on with pure basics technique |
