 	  | Quote: | 	 		  If ab is a <18> pair then c=3, d=6 and x is NOT <6>
 
If ab is NOT a <18> pair then b=6 and x is NOT <6>
 
 
Or you could say it doesn't matter what goes in b <168> x is never going to be <6> |

 	  | Code: | 	 		  +--------------------+----------------+---------------+
 
| b18     5   c168   |  2   d168  3   | 79    4   79  |
 
|  2      9    3468  |  47   468  78  | 5     1   36  |
 
| a1*3   h146  7     |  145  1456 9   | 2     8   36  |
 
+--------------------+----------------+---------------+
 
|  13579  147  13459 |  8   e135  6   | 13479 379 2   |
 
|  1359  g14   2     | f157 e135  57  | 8     6   149 |
 
|  6      178  138   |  9    2    4   | 137   37  5   |
 
+--------------------+----------------+---------------+
 
|  5789   3    589   |  6    458  1   | 479   2   479 |
 
|  1589   1268 15689 |  345  7    258 | 13469 359 149 |
 
|  4      1267 156   |  35   9    25  | 1367  357 8   |
 
+--------------------+----------------+---------------+
 
 | 	  
 
Then I used the chain 1*r3c1-(1=8)r1c1-(18=6)r1c3-(68=1)r1c5-r45c5=r5c4-(1=4)r5c2-(1*4=6)r3c2 contradiction (i.e. 6r1c3, 6r3c2) => r3c1 <> 1; stte. |
