"Couldn't" or "Didn't" ?

"Couldn't" might imply that you failed to understand Luke's one-stepper.

I don't understand.

I don't know which of six possible chutes is chute 3

I don't see a single step move.

If I did I probably "could" solve the puzzle Confused

Aaaahh. My mistake!!!

I didn't catch that Luke used "chute" instead of "stack". You were correct to not understand his reference.

A band is horizontal.
A stack is vertical.
A chute is how the garbage gets from the 6th floor to the dumpster.

(Both bands and stacks are chutes, apparently.)

A chute is also somewhere I don't ski - they are dangerous. Being European I call them couloirs.

I have heard the term "chute" used in referencing the stalls that cattle stand in while milking.

and I have heard it used as a way to describe the 15 foot barriers on either side of the highway in construction zones or along residential areas.

What's the difference between a Bug-lite and a run-of-the-mill deadly pattern?

At any rate, I didn't notice it and used four steps.

Maybe the answer to that is all Bug-Lites are deadly patterns but all deadly patterns are not Bug-Lites.

I see your point, though, Marty. I beginning to think that it might be better to call things a "deadly pattern" rather than trying to affix one name or another. According to Sudopedia, there are thousands of deadly patterns. Confused
