- Code: Select all
If two unsolved cells not see each other
that's the part that's is not described in the linked definition as well:
what is described is that a & B both see different parts of the single strong/ grouped weak link --- which is how hodoku identifies them
also the link stipulates it is again exactly
4 cells. which would invalid most of the ones shown by ronk and my self in later posts.
instead of an even more generalized form:
--- taken from xsudoku 2 bivalves sharing 1 strong/ weak grouped link
A: bivalve cell with digits xy
B: digit x is a weak link or Grouped weak link to A
C: digit x is a strong link or strong grouped link to B
D: bivalve cell with digits xy where d is a peer of A or digit x is a weak link C
eliminate:
if d is a weak link of c
then
peers of A & D <> digit y
if D is peer of A
then
peers of d and peers of C <> digit y
and peers of A & D <> x,y
Added:
(Isn't called useless or spent naked pair transported by strong link on a digit?)

I think, it is skyscraper {shasimi - wing}. If r1c2 and r1c8 form naked pair, then it is also form strong link for digit a (and b too).
Similarly, r1c3 elimination is useless.

pretty much the problem with a lot of named technique sets, they exhibit niche/specific cases that overlap one another.
this one is all 4 types. {skyscraper, shasmi-xwing, w-wing, fin transport on a pair}
i'll leave it for you to decide where and if you wish to include these 2 case as w-wings: i posted them as they did popup in xsudoku as w-wings
hopefully i explained how they could be classed as w-wings, by adding a 2nd elimination routine and dropped the elimination that d must see c
