				I rarely find out what I did wrong on a puzzle when I end up with an invalid result. However, this was the exception. All three times I made an invalid elimination from an XY-Wing.
 
 
XY (243)
 
Type 4 UR (34)
 
Type 4 UR (34) (not a typo, two different URs on 34)
 
Type 6 UR (49)
 
W-Wing (47)
 
Above with pincer transport
 
ER (4)
 
 
Sorry to have made extra work for you Danny. |
