That's true.
But unless you can demonstrate how you found it I will assume that you used software to solve it instead of your brain.

As you can see by the other posts above, on this forum we often express our solutions as an AIC using Eurkea notation.

Maybe you could learn how to use this method too.

Here are some references to help you.

Hi Bat,
JC is using a forbidding matrix (FM) technique. It's definitely brain-based, but tough on my old one.
He gives a nice example and detailed explanation in his April 17, 2014 puzzle posting http://forum.enjoysudoku.com/april-17-2014-t31756.html#p235830.
