While reviewing Ted's first step, I noticed a close alternative:

Peter, Those anp()s can be clean and deadly.

				Danny,
 
 
Great spot! I would never have noticed the locked set in box2 that forces r5c6<>3. Very unusual I think.
 
 
I might have noticed that the ls (379)b2q368-(39=1)r2c4-r456c4=(1-3)r5c6

				Potential DP (79), b79; common outcome; r9c8=9
 
M-Wing (47); r7c8<>7
 
M-Wing (47), flightless; r7c2<>4
 
 
(Last move may have been unnecessary because I may have overlooked a naked pair after move #2)
 
 
Edited. I did it again and the 3rd move was indeed unnecessary. |
