PS that was the out. The 180 rotational symmetry = > r5c5 = 9 was the inside but was not needed.

The gsp route is a bit more complicated, but it also has some beauty to it. After we get 9r5c5:

Code: Select all

:-------------------+---------------------+-------------------:

| 2478  23478  56   | 1237   9      1345  | 78    12456  2456 |

| 149   5      2    | 139   b136    7     | 69    8      3469 |
'-------------------'---------------------'-------------------'
78r3c45 = (8r1c5 & 6r9c5) => –6r3c5, –8r7c5 by symmetry

Code: Select all
.------------------.---------------------.------------------.
| 1289  6      89  | 5      138    139   | 4    7      239  |

| 2478  23478  1   | 6      23457  345   | 78   9      245  |
| 2478  23478  56  | 1237   9      1345  | 78   12456  2456 |

| 149   5      2   | 139    136    7     | 69   8      3469 |
'------------------'---------------------'------------------'
each of 1234 can only appear once because of the gsp => MSLS, –1r3c2, –3r7c8

And after the hidden pairs in b19, the same thing, but now we get the other eliminations:
Code: Select all
.------------------.---------------------.------------------.
| 12    6      89  | 5      138    139   | 4    7      239  |
| 5    *12     7   | 139    1346   13469 | 19–2*23     8    |
| 3     48     489 | 1789   1478   2     | 169  56     569  |
:------------------+---------------------+------------------:
| 2478  23478  1   | 6      23457  345   | 78   9      245  |
| 2478  23478  56  | 1237   9      1345  | 78   12456  2456 |
| 247   9      56  | 127    12457  8     | 3    12456  2456 |
:------------------+---------------------+------------------:
| 789   78     389 | 4      2356   3569  | 269  26     1    |
| 6    *14     39–4| 12389  1238   139   | 5   *34     7    |
| 149   5      2   | 139    136    7     | 69   8      34   |
'------------------'---------------------'------------------'

And with hidden pairs in b37, we transpose. stte

There is also a lovely 1399 gspMSLS in r1c6, r2c4, r8c6, r9c4, but it doesn't help the solution.

Hi P.O.
I think you should keep a space between left- and right- linking candidates inside the curly brackets. This will avoid adding inner parentheses.
What difference do you make between "&" and "^" ?

hi Denis,
& stands for AND ^ stands for XOR.
for example in the following links: r2n9{c7(c4^c5^c6)} - r1n9{(c5&c6)c3} first as c7 is not 9 one of (c4^c5^c6) is 9 so 9 is not in (c5&c6) but in c3 but i guess it can be written as r2n9{c7 c4c5c6} - r1n9{c5c6 c3}.

The problem is, in logic "^" usually means "and". You'd better use "v" (whether it's inclusive or exclusive doesn't matter here)

well i guess i was paying attention only to the first part of this phrase:
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exclusive_or
^, the caret, used in several programming languages, such as C,C++,C#,D,Java,Perl,Ruby,PHP and Python, denoting the bitwise XOR operator;
not used outside of programming contexts because it is too easily confused with other uses of the caret.
i think i will do without it completely.
