Consider ALS (12678) r45c23 and potential DP (28) r58c23.

ALS/DP Conflict: (7) r5c3 = ALS = (6) r4c2; (7) r5c3 = DP = (6) r8c2: conflict => - 28 r5c3; stte

I initially also used the almost UR(28)r58c23 but with a different deletion than that posted by Phil. I then looked for an alternate solution and found a couple of fun steps but they were not single steps so I reverted again to an ANS() solution.

Code: Select all
*-----------------------------------------------------------*
 | 8     9     6     | 2     1     5     | 3     4     7     |
 | 2     4    f17    |g367   9     368   | 16    168   5     |
 | 17    5     3     | 4     67    68    | 2     168   9     |
 |-------------------+-------------------+-------------------|
 | 146   126   12    | 56   a2456  7     | 8     9     3     |
 | 5     28   e278   | 1     3     9     | 4    d27    6     |
 | 467   3     9     | 8    a246  b26    | 157  c1257 c12    |
 |-------------------+-------------------+-------------------|
 | 1-6   12-6  5     |*67   *67=2  4     | 9     3     8     |
 | 9     268   28    | 35-6  25-6  123-6 | 167   1267  4     |
 | 3     7     4     | 9     8     12-6  | 156   1256  12    |
 *-----------------------------------------------------------*

ANS(67=2)r7c45-r46c5=r6c6-r6c89=(2-7)r5c8=r5c3-r2c3=r2c4-(7=6)r7c4 => r7c12,r8c456,r9c6<>6

Same.

I initially also used the almost UR(28)r58c23


Ted, you're incorrigible!! It's not almost, it's a full-fledged, pure Type 6 UR!! :lol: :mrgreen: :lol: :mrgreen:

Marty,, you are correct on both counts: I just ckecked and it is a Type 6 UR, and I have been called worse than "incorrigible".

When I see a pattern like this, I immediately start working with the internal and/or external strong inferences. In this specific case, I believe I used the obvious internal conditions without ever looking at the field of digit 2s or digit 8s so I never considered if it was Type 6.

I would differ that this case is not an almost pattern. All such patterns are almost patterns but we have named a few special cases differently .

Ted :)

P.S. One day I may even surprise myself by using the phrase "almost x-wing" instead of a "finned x-wing".
