(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.

Hi, Marty. The [BUG+3] is parenthetical explanation.

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.

The part you highlighted was my way of saying that of the four possibilities I saw the three involving the 1s and didn't see how the 8 was accounted for. I understand the solution but wouldn't have figured it out on my own in a million years (way too subtle).

BUG+3 or BUG+4 ?
There are three cells involved, but four candidates.
Four candidates can avoid the BUG : 1r5c1, 8r5c3, 1r5c3, 1r6c3.
Therefore your strong link 8r5c3 = 1b4p469 is definitely correct.

I'd rather write it BUG+4: (8r5c3 == 1b4p469) - (1=3)r4c3 => -3 r5c3
with a double symbol == in order to emphazise the derivation of the SIS.

Anyhow, your path is nice and neat !

Best regards, Cenoman.

Marty told me awhile back that it was the number of cells, not the number of candidates, that determines the notation. I hope I remember that correctly. :)
