(6)r6c456 = (624)r43c5,r5c6 - (2|4=6)r2c6 - (6)r[2=4]c8 => -6 r4c5,r6c9; stte

(Edit: Removed unnecessary commas, thanks to Steve.)

Standard Eureka: Show
(6)r6c456 = r4c5 - (6)r3c5|(4)r4c5 = (24)r3c5,r5c6 - (2|4=6)r2c6 - r2c8 = (6)r4c8 => -6 r4c5,r6c9; stte

Edit 2:Since the commas weren't necessary, this also simplifies to:

(6)r6c456 = (624)r43c5,r5c6 - (2|4=6)r2c6 - r2c8 = (6)r4c8 => -6 r4c5,r6c9; stte

Edit3: Or why not simply:

(6)r4c8 = (624)r432c5 - (2|4=6)r2c6 => -6 r2c8; stte

...or even simpler:

Why the commas in the (6,2,4)?

Apparently for no reason :? I was probably thinking of the resulting group (2,4,6)r3c5,r5c6,r2c6 in which case they would be necessary, but not here. Thanks for pointing that out!

Yep! My first instinct was to use that BUG-Lite too, but as usual, I was blind to a simple enough elimination option. As also usual, Cenoman wasn't. However, now that I see it, why not use just externals:

(6)r1c2,r6c4 == (6-4)r4c5 = (41)b2p51 => -6 r1c4; stte
