It's kind of like a verbal emoticon. :)

By the way, I enjoyed your solution. Given the strong link from your DP, the rest follows easily. You might want to combine the two chains into one AIC.

"Given the strong link from your DP"

Steve, I don't understand that statement.

Is this the chain you had in mind?

4r5c7=3r9c89-(3=5)r9c3-r3c3=r2c1-(5=4)r7c1=> -4r7c7

Code: Select all
| 8  7  4  | 2    3   6    | 5  1    9    |
| 15 2  6  | 157  17  9    | 8  34   34   |
| 9  13 35 | 15   4   8    | 6  7    2    |
+----------+---------------+--------------+
| 3  4  7  | 8    6   1    | 9  2    5    |
| 2  5  8  | 379  79  37   | 14 46   146  |
| 6  9  1  | 4    5   2    | 3  8    7    |
+----------+---------------+--------------+
| 45 8  2  | 1379 179 3457 | 14 3469 1346 |
| 14 13 9  | 6    2   34   | 7  5    8    |
| 7  6  35 | 139  8   345  | 2  349  134  |

Hi, Marty. Sorry for the delay.

No, the chain I had in mind is just turning your second chain around and then combining it with the first. Like this:

(1=35)r3c23 - (5=3)r9c3 - [3r9c89=4r5c7][DP] - (4=1)r7c7 - r7c45 = 1r9c4 => -1 r3c4

What I meant by "given the strong link from your DP" was that you use that result as indicated in the middle of the chain. Now you have a nice, compact AIC that gives you your result.

Thanks Steve,

I've seen people (such as you and Phil) use the DP like that in the middle of a chain, but I haven't had any luck doing it myself.

Marty, you had all the pieces of the puzzle. It's just a matter of putting them together. Inserting the [DP] in the middle like that is just justifying the link that you're using in the chain. Your observation about the DP giving you that link was the key.
