 Posted: Wed Aug 05, 2009 3:11 pm Post subject: XYZ technique |
 |
|
| Why do some XYZ choices work and others don't? My friend and I each do the very hard daily puzzles together but separately. We each do our own puzzle in other words.... Yesterday I did an XYZ and the puzzle finished correctly very quickly. She did a different one and where she erased a six according to the XYZ that's where my six went! So if she would have continued with the puzzle, she would have not been able to finish it. She is discouraged because she has a difficult time finding XYZ possibilities and thought this was one and I looked at it and it should have been one. I don't get it and don't know what to tell her. |

My understanding of the XYZ wing is that XYZ must share a Box with either XY or YZ and must also "see" the other. Elimination of Y can be made only in a cell that "sees" all three.
Someone please correct me if this is not correct. Thanks.

| My understanding is you can only remove candidates from the two cells that "see" all three of the components of the xyz wing. |

1) An XYZ-Wing must occur in a chute (band or stack).
2) The XYZ cell is called the pivot/vertex, and the XY & YZ cells are called pincer cells.
3a) The pincer cells can not see each other.
3b) One pincer cell must be in the same box as the XYZ cell.
3c) The other pincer cell must be in the same row/column as the XYZ cell, but not in the same box.
4) Eliminations occur inside the (3b) box where it intersects the row/column used in (3c).
Here's an example in [band 1].
| Code: | +-----------------------------------------------+
| -Y -Y XYZ | . . . | . YZ . |
| . . . | . . . | . . . |
| XY . . | . . . | . . . |
|---------------+---------------+---------------|
| . . . | . . . | . . . |
| . . . | . . . | . . . |
| . . . | . . . | . . . |
|---------------+---------------+---------------|
| . . . | . . . | . . . |

I'd just like to add that a xyz-wing can exist in one house like a column or row except we don't call it a xyz-wing, we call it a naked triple.
this is a naked triple
| Code: | +----------+-------+---------+
| . 56 57 | . . . | . 567 . |
| . . . | . . . | . . . |
| . . . | . . . | . . . |
+----------+-------+---------+ |
then here is the naked triple bent into the xyz-wing.
| Code: | +--------+-------+----------+
| . 56 . | . . . | . 567 . |
| . . . | . . . | 57 . . |
| . . . | . . . | . . . |
+--------+-------+----------+ |
also,
a xy-wing is just a naked triple bent into another house.
here is the classic naked triple.
| Code: | +---------+-------+--------+
| . 56 57 | . . . | . 67 . |
| . . . | . . . | . . . |
| . . . | . . . | . . . |
+---------+-------+--------+ |
then here is the naked triple bent into a xy-wing
| Code: | +--------+-------+---------+
| . 56 . | . . . | . 67 . |
| . . . | . . . | 57 . . |
| . . . | . . . | . . . |
+--------+-------+---------+ |
-------
the other naked trip in a house is
| Code: | +-------+-------+------------+
| . . . | . . . | 567 567 56 |
| . . . | . . . | . . . |
| . . . | . . . | . . . |
+-------+-------+------------+ |

ive modified storms and added in the eliminations with each type.
| Code: | naked triple: x <> 567
+----------+-------+---------+
| x 56 57 | x x x | x 567 x |
| . . . | . . . | . . . |
| . . . | . . . | . . . |
+----------+-------+---------+ |
| Code: | xyz-wing x <> 5
+--------+-------+----------+
| . 56 . | . . . | x 567 x |
| . . . | . . . | 57 . . |
| . . . | . . . | . . . |
+--------+-------+----------+ |
| Code: | naked triple & xy-wing x <> 5, @ <> 567
+---------+-------+--------+
| @ 56 57 | @ @ @ | @ 67 @ |
| x x x | . . . | . . . |
| x x x | . . . | . . . |
+---------+-------+--------+ |
| Code: | xy-wing x <> 5
+--------+-------+---------+
| . 56 . | . . . | x 67 x |
| x x x | . . . | 57 . . |
| . . . | . . . | . . . |
+--------+-------+---------+ |
| Code: | naked triple(box/Row) x <> 567
+-------+-------+------------+
| x x x | x x x | 567 567 56 |
| . . . | . . . | x x x |
| . . . | . . . | x x x |
+-------+-------+------------+ |
added:
| Code: | naked triple( row) x <>7, @ <> 567
+--------+-------+------------+
| 56 @ @ | @ @ @ | 567 567 @ |
| . . . | . . . | x x x |
| . . . | . . . | x x x |
+--------+-------+------------+ |
probably going to create some confusion with both these posts....
Danny answered the question nicely 2 posts above. |
