(9=5)r4c3-(5=9)r7c3-(9=8)r7c4-(8=49)b5p19=> -9r4c4
Marty, I don't think this works. What you've shown is that if r4c3 is not a 9, either r4c4 or r6c6 (b5p19) is a 9. What if the one that's a 9 is r4c4? You can't conclude -9 r4c4. Your final pair can't include the target cell.
Your final pair can't include the target cell.
What if the one that's a 9 is r4c4?
SteveG48 wrote:Marty, when I say the "final pair", I'm referring to the 49 pair in b5p19 after you remove 8:
(9=5)r4c3-(5=9)r7c3-(9=8)r7c4-(8=49)b5p19=> -9r4c4
In general, you can't use the b5p19 pair to remove the 9 from b5p1, because the 9 may be b5p1 and the 4 may be b5p9. In this particular puzzle, we know that that's the case.
