Play this puzzle online at the Daily Sudoku site
A solution: | Quote: | Two XY-Wings work- 179 pivot r5c5 leading
to 479 XY pivot r3c6 > r7c5=1 |
Nice to have a two-stepper unless
anyone knows better........

Hugh : you need 2 more steps !
Investigating the solutions of the puzzle from the 2 solutions of R4 gives : r4c6=7 -> r8c6={} while r4c6=1 solves the puzzle using stte.
Interpretation :
| Code: | +----------+-----------------+-----------------+
| 9 2 7 | 1 6 8 | 3 5 4 |
| 8 6 4 | 35 2 35 | 1 7 9 |
| 1 3 5 | 47 79 479 | 8 6 2 |
+----------+-----------------+-----------------+
| 5 18 3 | (67) 4 1-7 | 9 2 8(6) |
| 7 18 2 | 36 19 139 | 46 48 5 |
| 6 4 9 | 25 8 25 | 7 1 3 |
+----------+-----------------+-----------------+
| 3 9 6 | 248-7 17 1247 | 5 48 78 |
| 2 5 1 | 48-7 3 (47) | (46) 9 78(6) |
| 4 7 8 | 9 5 6 | 2 3 1 |
+----------+-----------------+-----------------+
pseudo-WWing : (7=6)r4c4 - 6r4c9=6r8c9 - (6=47)r8c76 :=> -7r4c6,r78c4; stte |

| I'm confused. The puzzle for the 14th shows as a Hard, not a VH. |

Sorry folks- not sure how that happened. The puzzle was from 2010!
(I have amended the title of the original post)

Hey, that's almost happened to me a couple of times Hugh! If you're like me, you probably print out VHs from the archive and do them on days that this site doesn't have a VH. I remember at least a few times that I confused a puzzle that I did one day with this site's puzzle for that day. |
