PostPosted: Thu Nov 27, 2014 6:31 pm    Post subject: almost an xy wing and a hybrid Reply with quote

I solved it by what I call almost an xy wing- to wit if r6c6 is not 5 the an xy wing 257 pivoted at r9c6 leads to the aforesaid r6c6 becoming 7 so r6c6 is either 5 or 7 and not 2.

This gives the same result as the "hybrid xy wing" though it uses slightly different elements and in particular not r8c6 yet the two logics lead to the same conclusion!

I'm not 100% sure, but I think the W-WING ON 57 does IT, although I haven't tested thoroughly.

Don;t know for sure.....

now that draw play is working again - the result of the W wing leads to a 7 in r7c5 and petting in that 7 and pressing "grade" gives the retult "easy" and that show s that the task is complete!!

I agree with hughwill's 2 stepper. It also took me a long time to solve this puzzle.

The x-wing makes the xyz wing available straight away before going ahead with a second round of basics.
