Here's a late entry especially for SpAce...
In 1s, a finned sashimi kraken 1-Fish c7\r6 + fr5c7 rfr1c7 => - 1r6c8; stte
Base(c7); Cover(r6);
Potential elimination(*);
Eventual elimination(-);
Covered base cell(none);
Fin(#); Remote fin(@);
Code: Select all
1r1c7 - (1=43)r1c68 - (3=91)b5p68 - 1r6c8;
1r5c7                             - 1r6c8;
In checking the UFG definitions, I agree that Kraken does refer to having remote fin(s), as SpAce suggested. The remote fin chain can also involve non-fish digits.
Note above that the base and cover sectors don't necessarily have to intersect at a fish digit. As I understand it, that makes this fish sashimi as well.
Caution: Show
The "Sashimi 1-Fish" has a cover sector without any base candidates, so it's not really a fish per current UFG standards. However, the elimination logic does seem to work correctly. See here for detailed discussions.

The entire fish structure can also be viewed as a much simpler Kraken (1)c7 and uses the same two chains. One of the 1s must be true, and their two chains have a common outcome.

In the past, I could do larger fish. Size 1 is now my limit, and that's complicated enough. :)

Thanks! :D It's awesome!

An interesting observation! I'm just wondering... what do we really have if the cover doesn't touch any base candidates at all?

But that would be boring :D

Your 1-fishes are great, but I'm also yearning to see some mutants, preferably with endo-fins and cannibalism too! That may be difficult if you don't allow larger sizes?

PS. This reminds me of the International Obfuscated C Code Contest: https://www.ioccc.org . Should we have a similar contest for sudoku solving? :)
