Nice catch, Steve! Thx for the helpful feedback.SteveG48 wrote:Notice that if we modify your abcd chain just a little from: (5-7)r5c8 = (78-3)r15c4 = (32-5)r7c49 = r7c1
To: 7r5c8 = (78-3)r15c4 = (32-5)r7c49 = 5r6c9,
We also get -5 r5c8 ; stte
Then the same chain gives 8r5c4 == 7r5c8 => -7 r5c4 ; stte
Yet another nice one! Funny that I can spot an oddagon and its multiple guardians, but always seem to miss an almost kite and its spoiler! Gotta work on that!Cenoman wrote:Almost kite
