Very nice, JCO. A chain within a chain, and all three eliminations necessary for the ste result.

Hello SteveG48,

I really enjoyed solving this puzzle. It is a nice puzzle for Medusa coloring.
I used two pair of opposite colors (',"), (`,``), as follows.

Code: Select all
  1     2   3     4  5   6     7     8      9
.---------------+------------+------------------.
| 9    7    5   | 8  46  3   | 2     1      46  | 1
| 1    68!  4   | 2  5   9   |'368  "3'8    7   | 2
|'2"8 "268  3   | 7  46  1   | 689 ``589    4`56| 3
|---------------+------------+------------------|
| 3    5    28  | 6  9   248 | 48    7      1   | 4
| 7    4    9   | 1  3  '2"8 | 5     6     "2'8 | 5
| 6   '1"8 "128 | 5  7   248 | 489  '298!   3   | 6
|---------------+------------+------------------|
| 4    9   '1"8 | 3  2   7   |"168  `5``8! ``5`6| 7
| 5   "1'2  7   | 4  8   6   |'1"3  "2'3    9   | 8
|"2'8  3    6   | 9  1   5   | 7     4      '2"8| 9
'---------------+------------+------------------'

Since (',") are opposite colors, we immediately have -8r2c2, -8 r6c8 [both see ("8)r6c2,('8)r2c8].
Due to ('8)r2c8 and (``8)r7c8 [in the same column], we cannot have both colors true, so one of
the opposite colors " or ` must be true.
This implies that -8 r7c8, because it sees ("8)r9c9 and (`5)r7c8.
This last elimination implies that all ``-colored digits are false and all `-colored digits are true.
Now, (8)r3c1=(8)r3c2 (LC) implies -8 r3c78, and so r2c8='8.
In turn, this implies that all '-colored digits are true => ste.
Thanks for the puzzle!

Suggested by JCO's solution:

(3=2)r8c8 - 2r8c2 = ((18)b7p35)&((18)r68c2)&((28)r3c12) - 8r367c8 = 8r2c8 => -3 r2c8 ; stte
