Getting a bit ridiculous:
(8=7)r9c3* - r4c3 = r5c23 - (7=4)r5c7^ - (4=9)r7c7# - (479=1)r9c7^* - r8c9 = r8c5% - (1=8)r9c46 - (89=5)r7c5# - (15=8)r1c5% => -8 r1c3, r9c5; stte

Interesting last step. If b8p2379 contain 4568, then r8c4 is empty. Couldn't you just as easily finish with (8=6)r8c4?

Good point, Phil. I didn't notice that. The alternative interpretation of the chain is that if r8c2 is not a 7 then r8c4 is empty => contradiction => 7r8c2 => -8r8c2.

It's interesting to note that the chain does read correctly backwards, and you don't run into the same problem. On the other hand, if you substitute the 6 for the 8 in the backward chain, it still works logically, but doesn't give you a useful result- I think! :)
