These eliminations can be found like this:
-(56)r5c46->(56)r456c5 => -(56)r7c5 is not possible => (56)r5c346 => -(5)r5c3579, -6r5c5
-(5)r5c3->5r5c6->5r7c5 => -5r7c3.
That's what I call the anti-tracks technique...

just saw this thread

i'm mildly disappointed that my fancy names for all of the eight and nine link aic's never caught on

i mean, rotten cake made out of wood clearly sounds so much better than w-ring
