I initially found this solution while searching for a pattern...........

1r9c8=(1-9)r9c2=(9-3)r7c1=3r7c4-(3=28)r8c46-(8=13)84c2 => r9c2<>1

Much uglier than the above solutions. :oops:

(1=8)r9c8-(8579=1)r9c4562-(13=8)r48c2-r7c3=8r7c8 contradiction=>r9c8<>8

Marty, you were over-thinking it here. Here's your solution (simplified):

1r9c8 = r9c2 - (13=8)r48c2 - r7c3 = 8r7c8 => -8 r9c8


Note: many of my solver's short solutions used the ALS in r48c2.

Danny,

Thanks. I wish I'd have come up with your solution. I don't think I was overthinking. I spent way too much time on this puzzle, incorrectly thinking I'd tried everything with no success. When I finally found what I posted, it was a relief to get rid of the damn thing and get on to the next one.
