Marty, I don't follow the part in red. You seem to be using the presence of 4 and 7 in r56c7 to eliminate them in the same cells, and then going ....?

However, how about this:

H2 Wing: (9=2) r2c8 - r2c7 = (2-5) r4c7 = (5) r1c7 => - 9 r1c7; stte

Today's stte list was a record - 31 locations:

8 r1c1, 1 r1c5, 5 r1c7, 9 r1c7, 7 r1c9, 6 r2c1, 3 r2c4, 9 r2c6, 2 r2c8, 5 r4c1, 6 r4c2, 8 r4c3, 2 r4c7, 1 r4c8, 7 r5c1, 9 r5c3, 4 r5c7, 5 r5c9, 4 r6c3, 9 r6c8, 7 r7c1, 6 r7c3, 3 r7c6, 5 r7c8, 9 r8c2, 1 r8c4, 5 r8c6, 7 r8c8, 1 r9c3 & 9 r9c5

No doubt Steve will provide a solution for each one ! :D

Marty, I don't follow the part in red. You seem to be using the presence of 4 and 7 in r56c7 to eliminate them in the same cells, and then going ....?

However, how about this:

9r6c8-(9=457)r56c7,r5c9 -(5|7=29)r24c7-(9=3)r2c6=> 3r2c6


OK Steve, the term in red was my invented albeit invalid ALS because I didn't know how to notate what I had plotted out on blank grids. In separate chains the 9 yields 7 in r6c7 and a 2 in r2c8 and those two "pince" on r2c7, leaving a 9.

However, I don't understand your 2nd term. First thing is I see four numbers in two cells. And I don't understand 5|7.

Now I see what I could've done (if legal). My 2nd term could've been (7=29)r2c79, meaning that the 7 in r6c7 causes a 29 pair in r2c78.

Thanks, as always, for keeping me honest. :mrgreen:

Excellent, Marty. Your new observation is right on. I won't bother to explain mine, because it was unnecessarily complicated and yours is not.

The notation 5|7 simply means 5 OR 7, as opposed to 5 AND 7. We frequently use notation like 57 to mean either "5 or 7" (5|7) or to mean "5 and 7" (5&7). I think this is bad practice, because sometimes the distinction is important. On the other hand, using 57 to mean the same as "5 and 7" is pretty common everywhere, so I'm trying to discipline myself to always use 5|7 when appropriate, while accepting the shorthand for the "and" function.

Dan,
My 1x1 Fish above is a by-product of a 5-link Oddagon in 7s giving the same elimination. The smaller fish tend to have remote fins to deal with, but I like the challenge.

I assume your "xw" refers to a (finned?) X-Wing (2x2 Fish), but I'm rusty on anything beyond 1x1. Could you elaborate with a diagram?

Sorry the more ways I try the more road blocks I find you are right about the challenge. My first thoughts are totally in error.
