I was using a solver to step thorough a puzzle and came to
this position, almost. Said solver does not export candidates
so this grid may not be too valid, BUT, the cells marked with
# signs, do they allow the removal of digit 5 from R6 C7?

Code: Select all

Yes, it's a perfectly valid UR+1. The fact that digit 7 already is removed by anoher UR doesn't change this.
