Very creative method. Simpler would be: 1r4c5 (proven by solution), stte.

Similar to Cenoman's:
Code: Select all

 |  2369  a69    1    |  4     c236    7     |  5     8   b26   |
 |--------------------+----------------------+------------------|
 |  7      2     3    |  5     c14     9     |  146   46   8    |
 |  46    a168   48   | b123    7     b123   |  124   5    9    |
 |  49     159   59   |  8     c124    6     |  124   7    3    |
 |--------------------+----------------------+------------------|
 |  8      579   59   |  2367  d2369   23    |  346   46   1    |
 |  1      7-9   6    |  37    e389    4     |  38    2    5    |
 |  24     3     24   |  16     168    5     |  68    9    7    |
 *--------------------------------------------------------------*

(9=861)r235c2 - (8|6|1=2,2,23)r2c3,r3c9,r5c46 - 2r2346c5 = (2-9)r7c5 = 9r8c5 => -9r8c2, stte

What i mean is, that it takes about the same effort to prove, that only 246 can go to r1c9 and r4c7 (more precise, that if 2,4, or 6 in r78c8, then also in r1c9 or r4c7), as to prove, that 1 must be in r4c5 (which is a backdoor).
And to prove an excocet by the solution is like proving a backdoor by the solution - correct, if the puzzle is unique, but ...

Very creative indeed. I've never seen a guess masqueraded as an Exocet before :) Btw, pretending that it makes any sense, we also have +2r1c9 (stte) since 46 is obviously an invalid base pair.

Hi,
Another way to achieve the elimination of 9r8c2, with TDP and the anti-track P'(9r3c2):
Code: Select all
                   >5r6c3->9r6c2 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - ->
                  |                                                |
-9r3c2->9r3c1->4r6c1                                               |
                  |                                                |
                   >5r6c2->1r5c2->23r5c46->2r6c7- ->               |
                       |                            |              |
                       >79r78C2->6r3c2->6r2c5 - - - ->2r7c5->9r8c5->-9r8c2
                                   |                |
                                    >2r3c9->3r3c5 ->
