as if I didn't have other things to worry about in life Rolling Eyes ... this thread was posted over at the players forum... I am not going to pretend I have any clue how to solve this monster, just wanted to make it public on this forum.


here is the thread:

http://www.sudoku.com/boards/viewtopic.php?t=5738


here is the grid:

Code:
 . . . | . . . | . 3 9 
 . . . | . . 1 | . . 5 
 . . 3 | . 5 . | 8 . . 
-------+-------+------
 . . 8 | . 9 . | . . 6 
 . 7 . | . . 2 | . . . 
 1 . . | 4 . . | . . . 
-------+-------+------
 . . 9 | . 8 . | . 5 . 
 . 2 . | . . . | 6 . . 
 4 . . | 7 . . | . . .

Oh, no problem Rolling Eyes
Code:
r6c5<>7(r5c5<>1,r6c6<>6,r6c2<>6,r4c2<>4,r1c7<>1),r2c5<>3,r8c5<>4(r8c3<>7,r1c3<>1,r1c4<>8),r7c9<>1,r3c4<>9,r8c6<>4,r7c1<>7,r1c7<>1

Set r6c5 to 7 and continue with basics, as long as you can.
Then set r5c5 to 1 and continue, until you get a contradiction somewhere. Back to that position, now you can eliminate 1 from r5c5. Continue, until stuck again, then set r6c6 to 6 and so on.
With the contradiction for r1c7=1 you will get one (with r1c7<>1) that shows, that r6c5 cannot be 7.

The rest is even easier.
