(8r5c3 = 1b4p469)[BUG+3] - (1=3)r4c3 => -3 r5c3
Hi Steve,
I never noticed the BUG. I'm having trouble with the notation. Is [BUG+3) a parenthetical explanatory note or part of the 2nd term? I see where three of the four possibilities set r4c3=3 but I don't see where 8r5c3-(8=13)r45c3.
I'm not sure what the part I've highlighted means. My solution, using the BUG, reduces to 8r5c3 = 3r4c3. If r5c3 is not 8, then it can't be 3 either. If r5c3 is 8, then it's still not 3, therefore the conclusion

(2)r5c3 - (2=1)r5c6 - r4c6 = r4c3 - (1=8)r9c3 - 8r6c3
(3)r5c3 - (3=1)r4c3 - (1=8)r9c3 - 8r6c3
(2)r6c3 - 8r6c3

BUG+3 or BUG+4 ?
There are three cells involved, but four candidates.
