Hi rjamil,

I don't understand your move. How is it supposed to work? I don't see how those four cells can eliminate anything by themselves. The closest to that I get is this, but it has two extra cells:

original: Show
Code: Select all
.--------------.-------------------.-----------.

| 8   4    7   |   56    16    15  | 2  9   3  |

(58=6)r54c4 - r4c2 = (6-7)r6c2 = (7-5)r5c2 = (5)r5c46 => -5 r6c6; stte

...or compressed:

(58=6)r54c4 - (67,5)r465c2 = (5)r5c46 => -5 r6c6; stte

Edit. eleven's simpler interpretation is of course much better. I don't know how I could be so blind that I missed it. Still, even that has one extra cell that you didn't list:

Code: Select all
.--------------.-------------------.-----------.

Guess you mean:
5r5c2 => 5r4c4
-5r5c2 => 5r5c46

Well, you can't really expect us to go through all those diagrams to understand your move. Since the pattern name probably means very little to most people (including myself, even though I must have known it at some point since I've participated in the thread), the presentation should have at least some hints to how it works. I don't expect you to write it in chain form (see my post for an example), but at the very least it should list all the involved cells (r5c6 is missing). That was the biggest problem for me, so fixing it would help tremendously.

In any case, if eleven's logic is what it's supposed depict (and it seems the most likely option), I really like that move! Good job!

Btw, I think it can also be seen as an overlapping grouped ALS-H-Wing (formerly known as a grouped H4-Wing). Would all H4-Wings be found as XYZ-Wing-Hybrids in your program, or do they have some difference? I think we've discussed that before, but I can't remember where and what the conclusion was.)

Hi SpAce,

BTW, a hint is enough for a wise man, but, if you insist then just read blue's post only.

Hi rjamil,

Here are some BUG examples like I promised. First a two-stepper with a reduced BUG+3 and then a one-stepper using the full BUG+6 directly.

BUG+6 grid: Show
Code: Select all
.---------------.------------------.-----------.
| 3  9     2    | 7     4     8    | 5  1   6  |
| 8  4     7    | 56    16    15   | 2  9   3  |
| 6  1     5    | 2     9     3    | 4  8   7  |
:---------------+------------------+-----------:
| 9  56    38   | 68+5  23+6  7    | 1  4   25 |
| 2  57    48+3 | 58    13    14+5 | 6  37  9  |
| 1  67+5  34   | 9     26+3  45   | 8  37  25 |
:---------------+------------------+-----------:
| 4  8     6    | 3     5     9    | 7  2   1  |
| 7  2     9    | 1     8     6    | 3  5   4  |
| 5  3     1    | 4     7     2    | 9  6   8  |
'---------------'------------------'-----------'

So, we have six guardians in six cells to begin with. Finding a common elimination for them is not trivial in this case, but fortunately we can get rid of three of the guardians with a simple loop:

Code: Select all
.----------------.------------------.------------.
| 3  9      2    | 7     4      8   | 5  1    6  |
| 8  4      7    | 56    16     15  | 2  9    3  |
| 6  1      5    | 2     9      3   | 4  8    7  |
:----------------+------------------+------------:
| 9  56    a38   | 568  b23-6   7   | 1  4   c25 |
| 2  57     48-3 | 58    13     145 | 6  37   9  |
| 1  67-5  f34   | 9     236   e45  | 8  37  d25 |
:----------------+------------------+------------:
| 4  8      6    | 3     5      9   | 7  2    1  |
| 7  2      9    | 1     8      6   | 3  5    4  |
| 5  3      1    | 4     7      2   | 9  6    8  |
'----------------'------------------'------------'

Step 1:

(3)r4c3 = (3-2)r4c5 = r4c9 - (2=5)r6c9 - (5=4)r6c6 - (4=3)r6c3 - loop => -3 r5c3, -5 r6c2, -6 r4c5

compressed: Show
(3)r4c3 = (32)r4c59 - (2=54'3)r6c963 - loop => -3 r5c3, -5 r6c2, -6 r4c5

5x5 SPM: Show
Code: Select all
 3r4c3  3r4c5
        2r4c5 2r4c9
              2r6c9 5r6c9
                    5r6c6 4r6c6
 3r6c3                    4r6c3
-------------------------------
-3r5c4 -6r4c5      -5r6c2

5x5 (Rank 0): {23R4 6N369 \ 45r6 2c9 3c3 4n5} => -3 r5c3, -5 r6c2, -6 r4c5

What's left is a much simpler BUG+3:

Code: Select all
.------------.------------------------.-----------.
| 3  9    2  |  7       4      8      | 5  1   6  |
| 8  4    7  |  56      16     15     | 2  9   3  |
| 6  1    5  |  2       9      3      | 4  8   7  |
:------------+------------------------+-----------:
| 9  56   38 | a68[+5]  23     7      | 1  4   25 |
| 2  57   48 |  8-5     13    b14[+5] | 6  37  9  |
| 1  67  c34 |  9      c26+3  c4(5)   | 8  37  25 |
:------------+------------------------+-----------:
| 4  8    6  |  3       5      9      | 7  2   1  |
| 7  2    9  |  1       8      6      | 3  5   4  |
| 5  3    1  |  4       7      2      | 9  6   8  |
'------------'------------------------'-----------'

Step 2:

Code: Select all
a: (5)r4c4
   ||
b: (5)r5c6
   ||
c: (3)r6c5 - (3=4)r6c3 - (4=5)r6c6

=> -5 r5c4; stte

In other words, 2/3 guardians (5r4c4 and 5r5c6) see the elimination directly. The third 3r6c5 needs a short chain (which is also a locked set, actually) to imply 5r6c6 which also sees the elimination. Thus all 3/3 have proved that they could eliminate it, so it can be safely eliminated.

As an AIC:

(5)b5p16 =BUG= (3)r6c5 - (3=4)r6c3 - (4=5)r6c6 => -5 r5c4; stte

compressed: Show
(5)b5p16 == (345)r6c536 => -5 r5c4; stte

Of course we can also do it in one step with the BUG+6 directly:

Code: Select all
.-------------------.--------------------------.-------------.
| 3     9      2    |  7         4      8      | 5    1   6  |
| 8     4      7    |  56        16     15     | 2    9   3  |
| 6     1      5    |  2         9      3      | 4    8   7  |
:-------------------+--------------------------+-------------:
| 9     56     38   | a68(+5)  cd23+6   7      | 1    4   25 |
| 2  cd(5)7   b48+3 |  8-5     cd13    a14(+5) | 6  cd37  9  |
| 1    c67+5  b34   |  9      bcd26+3  b4(5)   | 8    37  25 |
:-------------------+--------------------------+-------------:
| 4     8      6    | 3          5      9      | 7    2   1  |
| 7     2      9    | 1          8      6      | 3    5   4  |
| 5     3      1    | 4          7      2      | 9    6   8  |
'-------------------'--------------------------'-------------'

Code: Select all
a: (5)b5p16
   ||
b: (3)r5c3,r6c5 - (3=4)r6c3 - (4=5)r6c6
   ||
c: (5-6)r6c2 = (62-3)r64c5 = r5c5 - (3=7)r5c8 - (7=5)r5c2
   ||
d: (62-3)r46c5 = r5c5 - (3=7)r5c8 - (7=5)r5c2

=> -5 r5c4; stte

Again, the same two guardians (5r4c4 and 5r5c6) see the elimination directly, but now they're only 2/6, so we need chains for the other four.

As a (compressed) AIC:

(5)b5p16 == [(54,3)r6c63,r5c3,r6c5 == (5-6)r6c2 = (62,3)r645c5 - (3=75)r5c82] => -5 r5c4; stte

9x9 BTM: Show
Code: Select all
