+------------------------+--------------------+----------------+

based on the UR59 r56c29, there exists only one other 5 and 9 in column 2 to prevent the UR from happening.

(7=5)r4c4 - UR59[(5)r4c2 = (9)r9c2] - (9=7)r9c3 - (7=3)r2c3 - (3)r2c1 = (3)r4c1;
r4c1 <> 7
r4c2 <> 3

I like them both - and being visual, particularly the diagram Norm.

How about this ALS which also solves the puzzle:



First ALS is <137> shown in green
Second ALS is <1238> shown in orange

Locked/restricted common is 3 ar r28c3

The 1 at r7c2 (Blue) can see all the 1s in both sets and is eliminated.

A third way.

A great puzzle Danny with a high entertainment level - thanks!

PS Will try and figure out how to create pencil marks and/or go over to Norm's diagramming system as I know these tinypic renditions eventually die as I note from some of my postings a few years ago. I just find colours and cells more illuminating than the ascii prints.

In case any other amateurs read this, I used a half-dozen ERs and an XY-Wing (173).

I like the ER very much - good to see it making a return.

I don't have anything against those who enjoy finding and posting chains, but it's reassuring to know that others are able to solve my puzzles using VH and VH+ steps. I spend quite a bit of time sorting through potential puzzles to post, and I use VH and VH+ steps most of the time to make my final decision on posting a puzzle.

Regards, Danny
