Look for a deadly pattern to solve this one


There is a 45-56-46 triple in rows 7 and 9

If r7c6 = <56> then the puzzle is invalid as it would have two solutions

So r7c6 = <8> to ...

In one step from the first grid, r2c2=7 to solve

If r2c2=2, r9c13=2 leads to no <2> in column 7

Another example of forcing a UR - remove <6> from r1c3 to solve

If r1c3=6, r3c3=1, r2c1=2, r7c1=5

Leads to a <12> UR in r17c78

For something a bit more fancy remove <1> from r5c8 to solve
If r5c8=1, r5c3=3, r3c3=4, r8c3=6

Leads to a <35> UR in r78c17

Thanks Gianni

But doesn't a XY wing solve this in one move? No fancy stuff!

I know draw/play says its not easy after this XY wing but it is!

Gianni,

Can you revert to hiding the solutions?

It is not good to have a link to play the puzzle when the solutions are in plain sight below

Grazie

r3c1 = <9> to solve
Look at the <78> pairs in boxes 4 and 6

If r3c1 = <78> the puzzle would have two solutions

There is a pattern of <78> in rows 4, 5 and 6 which means that r4c9 can't be <78> so must be <5>

Has this pattern got a name?

Remove <2> from r6c4 to solve
A short chain leads to a contradiction

If r6c4=2, r6c6=6, r4c6=5, r4c1=7 then no <7>'s in box 5

There is an XY chain 57-79-69-56 in boxes 8 and 9 to remove <5> from r7c5 to solve

Look out for a XY wing 79-1 in there too! (Doesn't solve it in one though)

r8c4 = 2 to solve or r7c7 = 4 to solve

Look at r357c45

If r8c4 = 9 (or r7c7 = 9) then you would have three pairs <24> <45> <25> in r357c45 which would give the puzzle two solut ...
