Is it a valid move to observe that if r5c4 is 1 then there is no longer a unique solution because there would be a 25 option in r4c25 and r5c25?

Hence r5c4 is 2?

r5c4 must be 1 or the schema would not have a single solution.
If you have number 2 and 5 in r45c25 at the same time you have a double solution.

This is a fine example of a Uniqueness Test Type 1, sometimes referred to as a Unique Rectangle. A valid Sudoku Puzzle can have only ONE correct solution, so we can key on the appearance of (25) in r45c25 with an extra candidate of (1) in r5c5. Terence is correct in his assessment. The extra candidate, providing there is only ONE of such, in ALL cases of a Type 1 Uniqueness Test MUST be placed in its particular cell in order to avoid multiple solutions to the puzzle. This surely assumes one is attempting to solve a TRULY valid puzzle. I was exposed to many invalid puzzles in the past before learning to only accept puzzles that were from reliable websites (such as this one) and/or sources.

I would gently suggest to Terence a clearer description of the logic...to avoid the confusion of including the bi-value (12) cell @r5c4 in the explanation of this. It would be clearer this way:

Uniqueness Test 1: 2/5 in r4c25,r5c25 =>r5c5<>2, r5c5<>5(=1!).

One could also state simply that r5c5=1, which is true in this instance. But I have come across many cases where there were two (rarely more) extra candidates in the one cell of the Uniqueness Test 1, meaning one would have to be content with the eliminations only, at this stage.

cheers all...immp
