I saw this "almost skyscraper(5)" and just had to make it work.

Code: Select all: *--------------------------------------------------------------------* |b136 7 9 | 36 a12356 2356 | 4 235 8 | | 134 c14 5 | 347 1234 8 | 9 237 6 | | 346 2 8 | 3467 *3456 9 | 1 357 *357 | |----------------------+----------------------+----------------------| |e147 1468 467 | 2 *3456 3456 | 378 15 9 | |f149 3 f24 | 89 7 g4-5 | 28 6 *15 | | 5 689 267 | 89 36 1 | 2378 378 4 | |----------------------+----------------------+----------------------| |d79 5 3 | 1 89 267 | 678 4 27 | | 2 c469 467 | 5 89 3467 | 3678 1378 137 | | 8 c46 1 | 346 2346 23467 | 5 9 237 | *--------------------------------------------------------------------*

1: skyscraper, marked "*", => r5c6<>5

2: The solution for the "almost" term, 5r1c5, is messy and involves two branches and a resultant segment.
Branch 1, marked a-b: (5-1)r1c5=1r1c1 => r4c1<>1
Branch 2, marked a-d: (5-1)r1c5=1r1c1-(1=469)r298c2-(9=7)r7c1 => r4c1<>7
Segment, marked e-g: r4c1<>14 => 4r4c1-4r5c13=4r5c6 => r5c6<>5

Thus, r5c6<>5 to solve the puzzle.

I think it's better to go Kraken cell on this one, Leren. The last expression on (6) is not an ALS.

Cool, the complement. Compliments!

Nicely spotted Luke. I was wondering if someone would spot my little fudge !

The original expression on 6 was: 8 r7c7 - (8=6) r4568c7 - 6 r8c3 but I noticed that this could be replaced by 8 r7c7 - 6r7c7 = 6 r8c7 - 6 r8c3, which seems simpler to me.

I'm still claiming Death Blossom rights because I could have used an ALS on all 3 legs. Well, that's my story and I'm sticking to it :lol:
