No fancy terminology.

(8=3)r6c1-(3=8)r5c3-r5c7=r1c7*-r2c8=r8c8=>r18c1<>8

(I put an asterisk in the 4th term to indicate that makes the first deletion before the transport).

Although there are several Jellyfish for r4c9<>8 and r5c3<>8, there were several posts for r5c3<>8 found by various other means. Also, there is a coloring approach once used by Angus Johnson (before he dropped it from his scenarios). Here, Green is assumed to be false and Blue is assumed to be true.

Code: Select all
 r5c7=G, r1c7=B, r2c8=G, r8c8=B
         r1c1=G          r8c1=G -> r6c1=B                (scenario AJ dropped)

 r5c7=G                            r6c1=B  =>  r5c3<>8

However, AJ's pattern is now more likely to be replaced by an oddagon with guardian cells.

Still trying to understand what you are saying here. Did You mean ?

Code: Select all
(8) r8c8 = r2c8 - r1c7 = r5c7 - r5c3 = r6c1 => - 8 r8c1;
                   ||
                       = r5c7 - r5c3 = r6c1 => - 8 r1c1; stte

No, you're deleting 1 and 8 from r8c1. I'm deleting 8 from both r1c1 and r8c1 using multi-colors on 8. r5c3 and r5c7 are in the same row. r6c1 is the opposite "color" from r5c3. r1c7 and r8c8 are each opposite colors from r5c7. Therefore, r1c7/r6c1 delete the 8 from r1c1 and r8c8/r6c1 delete the 8 from r8c1. Maybe this diagram says it right:
Code: Select all

Green and red are on the same row. Targets that see both blue and brown exclude 8. Sorry I'm so bad with the notation.

I probably should have written chain 1 in the opposite order.

Actually I was deleting 8 from r18c8 but you caught me out in one of my dyslexic moments - I've edited my post to fix the typo.

What I was trying to decide was whether your first post was one move or two. It's definitely one move. What you have shown is that if (1) r8c8 <> 8 then r6c1 = 8 so r18c1 <> 8; and (2) If r8c8 = 8 then r8c1 <> 8 but also r1c7 = 8 so r1c1 <> 8.

You could possibly write this as (8) r8c8 = r2c8 - r1c7 = r5c7 - r5c3 = r6c1 => - 8 r18c1; The underlining indicates that the second elimination also follows from the assumptions of the conditions in r8c8.

Much neater than my convoluted memory chain - well done !

Thanks, Leren. What I can't figure out is how you spot those chains at all- and so fast! But what happened to your Finned Franken Jellyfish? That's another one that I wouldn't spot in the days that I have left on the planet.

It was hiding in a school of undersized fish :x . I now have a special lure that only attracts fish that will solve a cell - so I can now replicate Dan's solution ;) .
