Hi Cenoman,
To me, your loop is one amazing chain! But, even more mysterious is exactly how you could determine in advance that the cell group, -459r3c3, would alone provide the stte elimination. I've never seen that done before (not surprising), so any crumbs of explanation thrown to the masses would be most appreciated!

Another view point is from a very hidden hint I noticed in myth jellies coals post.
Set a plus b share col for 4 leaving the a and b as locked set of 16, any cell that contains 1&6 that's visible to all 1amd 6 copies in a and b reduce the locked set to empty.
how does this work...
