Play this puzzle online at the Daily Sudoku site
Two Wings for me: | Quote: | | 46-5 XY-Wing pivot r1c1 then 23-4 XY-Wing pivot r9c2 |
I guess someone might find a one-step
though the 89-2 XY pivot r5c4 appears to do very little...

All that does is remove the 2 from R9C5, which can be done by basics anyway - the 2 in C4 must be in rows 8 or 9, so there can't be a two in R9C5 |

|
|
Where can I find help on the notation you are using to describe haow you are solving these puzzles:
Not sure how to read this:
W-Wing{(46)r1c1.r4c3, 4C2} -> -{6r3c3, 6r4c1}; stte
or how to write ways that I have used to solve. If someone can point me to a page, I would be glad to read up on it. Looked in the FAQ, but the notation I saw there doesn't match what's being used in this forum.
Thanks! |

That's his way of telling us that there's a W-Wing on 46 in r1c1 and r4c3 and they are connected by a strong link on 4 in c2. If r2c2 is 4 then r1c1 must be 6 and if r4c2 is 4 then r4c3 must be 6. Since either r1c1 or r4c3 is 6 then 6 can be eliminated from r3c3 and r4c1. That's not standard notation. It's his way of telling us without using the standard notation. |

| All I needed was the 46-5 xy wing. It eliminates 4 from r8c3 making r1c1 6. |

Thanks Marty ... OK, I guess what I am asking is where can I learn the standard notation to start out with. I see "stte" at the end of a number of notations and am not sure what a number of other things mean. Is there a reference somewhere? Thanks! |

The notation we are using in this forum is known as a The Eureka notation. It is a compact method to write Alternating Inference Chains.
You can find the explanation at http://www.sudopedia.org/index.php/Eureka |
