Not that hard to figure. Daily crashed for a while, players moved to Players' in the interim. Now that Daily's back up, Players' has caught on.

The history of sudoku boards is a rather tragic one. ...

Many of this site's regulars are now spending more time at Players'.

Hi mturner! I hope all is well with you. Your example directly above has an error in the grid which will prevent folks from pasting it into their favorite front end. Still, the UR elimination you po ...

Wow, an impressive article you present! Is this new material or has it been published before?

The bulk of the non-UR deadly patterns you present are called MUGs these days. Multivalue Universal Gr ...

I suspect Ted found a BUG-Lite much more fun than a simple Type 1.

How about a single chain.

(6r6c9=6r8c9)-(6=5)r7c8-(5=36)r78c6-r6c6=r4c4=>r4c8,r6c6<>6

Fun?? This isn't fun, it's su ...

6-cell Type 2 UR(28)b4,b6,b9 does not make any direct deletions. However, using the internal inferences hits pay dirt:

6r6c9-(6=2)r6c6-2r4c4=2r1c2
6r8c9-(6=5)r7c8-5r7c6=(5-7)r9c6=7r9c4-ANS(37=2)r ...

What do you think of the NFL's challenge rule?

It's stupid. Anyone who thinks otherwise deserves a kick in the groin.
In the NFL, one can no longer say that someone "deserves a kick in the g ...

On the easy side, as these go.

(5=8)r7c3-r7c89=r9c9-(8=5)r9c4-->r9c1<>5
Nice to see your notation ...

(6)r6c6-(6=1)r6c3-(1=8)r7c3-(8=4)r7c6-(4=6)r4c6

So Marty, if you can remember the other two paths, I'd say you're exonerated Smile

However, proving r6c6<>6 doesn't make r4c6=6 an " ...

I also used the DP 49 in boxes 258. Either r1c4 or r6c6=6 or r9c6=8. Common outcome; r4c6=6.
r6c6 = 6 implies r4c6 =6? How can that be? They are in the same column.

I think it's simpler than that. Simpler than any o ...

If your travels bring you to the Sacramento area, I am just a short distance away and would truly enjoy meeting you.
Just saw this, Ted, thanks for the invite!

If you travel to the Bay, I welcome ...

I can see why the Kraken cell approach might be a better way to sort out an AAIC like this. Problem is, Kraken cell doesn't speak to how the move could be found in the first place. It's more of an aft ...

Hey, Ted, how are you?

I glad you had fun with the AAIC, needed or not! I'm terrible at finding those and I always end up poring over the puzzle when others post them to figure them out. A couple t ...
