As I am the first to post this solution, I do not need that code to support my claim to priority here. If this had been in dispute, I could have shown that the code points to the solution. Not needing here to explain the code, I'll keep it secret for future use.

Gurth,

you missed Danny's post on the first page.
If you had read my solution, you would have seen, that your move was the first chain in it. And others like Danny were aware of it, but did not post it, because it does not solve the puzzle.

But congratulations, well spotted for a beginner.

If you review eleven's solution, you'll see that he performs r6c4<>38 early ... and still needs several steps before stte.

I believe others encountered similar results and needed additonal steps as well.


My solver generated:

Code: Select all

 (38=6)r78c4 - (6=7)r9c6 - (7=38)r56c6  =>  -38 r6c4,r7c6


But this is still insufficient to crack the puzzle.

Indeed, I have found my mistake now: the "stte" part! How I managed that I can't remember. My apologies to all !

Ha ha, this is hilarious. Yes, my "stte" was wrong. The funny part is that you could now say I cribbed my chain from yours.

welcome back gurth, long time no see

(38=6)r78c4 - (6=7)r9c6 - (7=38)r56c6 => -38 r6c4,r7c6

a good old death blossom but yeah def cannot crack this beast to singles

however, simpler and shorter... than any of the others so far...

if i recall you where rather fond of symmetrical derived solutions would that be a vague hint onto that subject?
